 Chapter 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction

Smart card applications, in addition to focusing on instrumentality and practicality, should also

consider the importance of social construction. Nowadays smart cards are used worldwide; it is

popular due to its portability and ease of use. Currently smart cards are used in various sectors

but not used mainly in college sectors. We should aim to developing of an advanced smart card

system for students which can be used in attendance management, cafeteria payments, library

management, access control and ATM/Debit cards in educational institutes. We can try to

achieve maximum usage of smart cards.

It is based on INTRANET. It helps staff personnel to manage student’s attendance. It also helps

students to pay their canteen bills just by using their smart card number and can also be used in

library for book management and fine payment by students on late return of book and also used as

a debit card. This will help to overcome the tedious manual work by replacing it with digital

technology of smart cards.

Attendance is very useful in colleges and schools to keep a track of punctuality of students as well

as preparation of list of short attendance according to the guidelines of college. Currently the

attendance of students, entering the data into system other calculations is done manually by the

staff. All this work can be done automatically using smart cards with the help of various

technologies like RFID (Radio Frequency Identification),barcode technology, QR (Quick

Response) code.

Smart cards here can be used in canteens too, and offices for faculty using smart card number

without having the need to carry cash. Also, payments can be made in office related works too

using smart cards such as exam fees, form fees, any kind of fine etc.
 1.2 Objectives:

 To provide a means of storing the student’s details, and providing a smart card to the

student for purposes of identification.

 To provide means of capturing and recording a student's attendance details when they

attend a class. And to generate reports of a student's attendance details over a certain period

of time.

 To use the mess, on a day to day basis using this smart ID and keep tracking of when the

student is eating and not (for refund purpose).

 To provide access to buildings in the academic section.

 To generate and manage bank accounts and transaction with ease.

 Chapter 2. LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Multi-purpose Student Card System Using Smart Card Technology:

Magnetic strip cards are used to do multipurpose work like attendance, paying digitally storing,

recording in database, storing scanned documents at a centralized location for ease of access of

data and reduce tedious manual work. The motivation is been taken from looking at wallet where

there are different cards like driving license, PAN card, ID card, library and many more to avoid

this situation the multi-purpose smart card is introduced which will contain all the details of the

user in single card.

Benefits of this system are:

 Faster and more accurate.

 Digital Transaction of bills and fine.

 Portability and ease of access to documents

Limitations of this system:

 While accessing the system, if the server goes down data fetching would be difficult.

 Initial investment required in hardware

2.2 Multipurpose Smart Card System:

Chip card which is of standard size made plastic is used to store data. This plastic chip card

contains details of the card owner which is in encrypted form preventing misuse or unauthorized

access of data. Such type of card is basically used in ATM cards. It is very suitable in a country

like India where population is highly dense, hence carrying such multipurpose card is way better

option than carrying aadhaar card, pan card, etc.

Benefits of this system:

 It provides security as it cannot be tampered so the only way to access the information is by

using PIN code.

 This system is accurate, fast and more efficient.

 Smart card is been encrypted and given unique id, hence, the information is protected.

Limitations of this system:

 Initial investment needs to be done in hardware.

 Training needs to be given to admin’s and student’s in the initial phase.

2.3 Barcode Based Student Attendance System:

This system consists of a card with barcode printed on it, this card can be directly scanned by the

students. Usually attendance is taken manually by teachers in colleges. There is need of automated

attendance system which records attendance and stores it in database and calculates and displays

attendance to the students without any human intervention. This system can be implemented using

different types barcode are as follows;

1. Linear Barcodes

2. Matrix Barcodes

Benefits of this system are:

 It is very simple technology compared to RFID.

 It is cost effective.
 Chapter 3. PROPOSED SYSTEM

In present scenario the student details are done manually the work is done on paper which causes

error it takes more time to put details manually. So, the proposed system uses Barcode reader to

take student details. In this system, each student is issued with barcode tag. Barcode tags and a

computer with the software which stores the database about the entire details of the student’s.

 Chapter 4. METHODOLOGY

Proposed system is divided in some main modules they are as follows;

Attendance: This module records attendance of student with the help of barcode printed on smart

card of student and stores it into the database. The data recorded by the module is entered directly

into the database hence overcoming the manual efforts that take places in current scenario. The

data can be further used to manipulate or carry out operations on it.

Canteen: This module will be operated by the staff; the module handler will take care of

recharging the students monetary balance in the card and also the bill payment in the canteen will

be carried out using this card.

Library: In library the book keeper can assign book to a particular student on the unique ID that

would be generated by the smart card, it will also keep track of late returning of book and will

automatically levy fine upon the particular student.

Access Control: In this Module, with the help of unique ID of the student from the database, it

grants access to places in the academic sections like; Computer Centre, Library, etc; wherever we

think it is necessary.

ATM & Debit Card: This module will be operated by the bank (Vijaya Bank). We can collaborate

with the bank as they can provide the accounts and manage with the same account accordingly

with respect to the college/exam fee, dues, deposits, refunds etc.

 Chapter 5. DESIGN

Supported by the college campus network, all kinds of the terminal devices adopt the design
of combining 485 communication and TCP communication, which is in favour of
constructing comprehensive network platform better, as well as save the investment on
network devices. The comprehensive design sees;

3-level platform architecture design

The system architecture adopts 3-level platform architecture: Digital campus as Level 1
platform; bank, teaching, finance and campus card management centre as Level 2 platform;
all the application systems as Level 3 platform.

Level 1 platform: The share data centre, unified identification and unified portal system of
the digital campus serve as the core of data exchange and data share;

Level 2 platform: The bank network system interlinks the bank and the information centre
network through telecom DDN special, setting corresponding rules to realize point to point
data communication, so that the users could deposit into the bank, inquiry the balance of the
bank card and daily business settlement. As the backbone communication platform of
“campus Smart Card” system, the campus network mainly realizes various businesses on
campus with the campus card.

Level 3 platform: Various application subsystems of this project and other application
subsystem related to campus card

6.3 Crashing
Project crashing is a method for shortening the project duration by reducing the time of one
(or more) of the critical project activities to less than its normal activity time. This reduction
in the normal activity time is referred to as crashing.

6.4 Auditing
A project audit provides an opportunity to uncover the issues, concerns and challenges
encountered in the execution of a project. It affords the project manager, project sponsor and
project team an interim view of what has gone well and what needs to be improved with the
project to successfully complete it. If done at the close of a project, a project audit can be
used to develop success criteria for future projects by providing a forensic review. This
review will provide an opportunity to learn what elements of the project were successfully
managed and which ones presented some challenges. This will help the organization identify
what it needs to do so that mistakes are not repeated on future projects.

The purpose of a project audit is to identify “Lessons Learned” that can help improve the
performance of a project or to improve the performance of future projects by undertaking a
forensic review to uncover problems to be avoided. In this way, project audits are highly
beneficial to the organization and provide the following multitude of outcomes:

 Development of “Lessons Learned” on the project that can be applied to both the
organization and its vendors.
 Development of strategies, which if implemented within the organization, will increase
the likelihood of future projects and change initiatives being managed successfully.
 Development of project success criteria which might include on-time, on-budget,
meeting customer and other stakeholder requirements, transition to next phase
successfully executed, etc.
 Recognition of risk management so that risk assessment and the development of
associated contingency plans becomes commonplace within the organization.
 Development of change management success criteria which might include how staff are
involved, how customers are impacted, how the organization is impacted, transition to
next level of change to be initiated, etc.
 Development of criteria that will continue the improvement of relationships between the
organization and its vendors, suppliers and contractors regarding the management of
projects.
 Identification of the Lessons Learned on the project that can be applied to future projects
within the organization.
