ATTENDANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Efficient management of college events and student attendance remains a major challenge in academic institutions due to reliance on manual registration processes and physical attendance tracking. These traditional approaches often result in data redundancy, proxy attendance, and administrative inefficiencies. This paper presents EVENTRA, a full-stack Event and Attendance Management System developed using Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The system incorporates role-based access control with JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication to ensure secure login and authorization. A unique attendance code is generated during event registration, enabling accurate verification and eliminating proxy entries. The three-tier architecture integrates frontend, backend, and database components to ensure scalability, real-time synchronization, and secure data management. Experimental evaluation demonstrates significant reductions in administrative workload and improved accuracy compared to manual systems. EVENTRA provides a cost-effective, centralized, and secure solution for modern institutional event administration.
