One of the criteria to measure the student performance is checking his regularity. Normally in schools and colleges attendance is marked by calling their names or register numbers and marking the attendance in register book. In laboratories log book is maintained to track the students and utilization of laboratory components. In both the cases it is time consuming and requires more paper work. Therefore institutes started using student attendance marking systems based on wireless technologies or biometric information such as finger print reading; face recognition along with RFID tags. In the present situation created by Covid-19 pandemic, the thermal screening is also very important to allow the student to attend the class. We propose an idea where along with face recognition temperature screening is also added to the attendance marking system. This system is designed using ultrasonic sensors, IR temperature sensor, camera module which is interfaced with Arduino. In this way, attendance can be marked automatically and at the same time system can scan individual student to identify potential patients of Covid-19.
