Examination is one of the ways to assess the receptiveness of student to various class teachings in various schools or institutions from primary to post - primary and tertiary institutions. But this is not without problem like impersonation, student class absenteeism and debtor student sitting for examination especially in private institutions. The proposed system developed with the aim of solving stated problems. The system did not only has the ability to take student class attendance and screening before and after examination but it can also be used to verify whether such student is in debit to the institution or whether the student has paid required percentage of the tuition before being allowed to sit for the examination thereby reducing number of student in debit before examination started, it will also eliminate impersonation during examination and stress of manual class attendance taking and record keeping, also avoid writing of name of absent student unlike in manual process of class attendance. The system will also make it easier to calculate required percentage of class attendance before any student is allowed to sit for an examination in any institution. The system adopted biometric access control techniques, which is designed with extended graphical user interface by using Microsoft visual studio 2010 and integrated with Microsoft fingerprint reader. The student information is stored by MySQL which serve as database located in the user's computer or server.
