Usual means (smart cards, passwords...) have shown their limits. Currently fingerprint recognition is the most widely used technique for personal identification. The development of an attendance management system using biometrics is proposed. As the manual method of attendance system produced errors and taking lot of time during lecture period, an efficient and organized biometrics system for students' attendance is purposed. The electronic system not only used to take attendance for the students, but a database is also mentioned to store all the information which can be manipulated further in future. Optical fingerprint sensor will make adding fingerprint detection and verification super simple.This type of verification is widely used in various aspects of life for different purposes, like in security, police identification, etc. Node MCU is used which provides the wireless communication. It also send the attendance report to PC. In this system, there are two parts, one is transmitter and another is receiver. In transmitter module, there is a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Arduino UNO, transmitter. In receiver module, Node MCU is mainly used. The resultant message will show on LCD.
