Kolkata: An AI-powered attendance system is set to be introduced in state schools to ensure accurate and efficient tracking.
The department believes the technology will reduce the time teachers spend taking attendance, particularly in classrooms with large numbers of students.
An official said the school education department’s plan for an AI-driven automated attendance system was aimed at streamlining student tracking through the app.
The AI-integrated app, equipped with facial recognition technology, will scan the image, cross-reference student faces against a pre-existing digital database, and generate a complete attendance list.
The system is likely to be launched in 100 state-aided schools as a pilot project.
