Attendance for universities

Student attendance system for universities

TAMS runs lecture-wise biometric attendance across schools, colleges and campuses. Each college can have its own instance, with central visibility for the university and roles for every office.

The problem

Thousands of students, hundreds of lectures a day

At university scale, attendance is not one register but hundreds of lectures a day across departments, labs and campuses. Gate machines cannot see lectures, and paper cannot keep up.

Universities using TAMS include IIT Bhubaneswar, Silver Oak University, Kadi Sarva Vishwavidyalaya, COER University and Arka Jain University.

  • Every school and college works differently
  • Management sees numbers only after the semester
  • Attendance has to flow into the university ERP
  • Data location and privacy must be under the university’s control
  • Student dropouts are spotted too late
How TAMS does it

Designed for scale and control

The same device and apps everywhere, configured per college.

Instance per college

Each college gets its own separate TAMS instance, on your campus server, AWS, Google Firebase or another cloud.

Your own roles

Create roles per page and action, so each office sees and does exactly what it should.

ERP integration

Students, subjects, faculty and the time table come in from your ERP; finalised lectures go back live.

Insights every morning

Trends, a forecast of who will fall below your minimum attendance by term end, and risk patterns by class, day and period.

Teacher guardians

Every student can have a teacher guardian, who follows up on their own wards.

Event attendance

Seminars, workshops and guest lectures use the same devices and stay separate from academic attendance.

In a real lecture

From roll call to verified report in four steps

Teachers take their lecture as usual. TAMS does the rest.

Start the lecture

On the TAMS device or the Attendance App — class, subject and room come from the time table.

Students mark in

The palm-sized device goes around the class. A fingerprint scan takes about a second per student.

One tap to finalise

The lecture uploads to the TAMS panel and your ERP — or waits in memory if there is no network.

Reports and alerts

Dashboards update, defaulters are flagged and parents of absent students are informed the same day.

FAQs

Questions colleges ask us

Can different colleges of a university have different settings?

Yes. Each college can run its own TAMS instance with its own settings, time table and roles.

Where is the university’s data stored?

Wherever you choose: your own campus server, Amazon Web Services, Google Firebase or another cloud. The data stays yours.

Which universities use TAMS?

IIT Bhubaneswar, Silver Oak University, Kadi Sarva Vishwavidyalaya, COER University and Arka Jain University, among others.

Do we need to install machines or wiring in classrooms?

No. There are no wall-mounted machines, cables or servers to buy. Each teacher carries a palm-sized TAMS device (150 g, a week per charge) to the lecture, and the system runs on the cloud or on your own campus server.

What if there is no internet in the classroom?

Attendance is still collected. The device and the apps keep every mark in memory and sync automatically when a connection is available.

Can TAMS send attendance to our existing ERP?

Yes. Classes, subjects, students, faculty and the time table come in from your ERP, and every finalised lecture is pushed back live. Integration typically takes a day.

Can we try it before buying?

Yes. We offer a live demo and a free one-class pilot for a month, so you see real reports from your own students before you decide.
