In this paper, the authors are emphasizing on developing this project that will help the lecturers to take attendance easily, securely and is less error prone. For this, they are implementing software “Mobile Phone Based Attendance System (MPBAS)” based on Android Technology. They are inspired to work on MPBAS from the existing system E-Beat. MPBAS will help lecturers to take the attendance of students using Smart-phone. Lecturers will login to the phone application, get connected to the server and take attendance using Smart-phone. After taking the attendance in the mobile, lecturers will send it over to the server using GPRS and attendance list will be updated automatically.
