Abstract

This paper presents a secure and efficient system for verifying hall tickets via QR codes and logging attendance in examination centers. The system allows invigilators or external staff to scan a candidate’s QR-coded hall ticket that encodes a signed token, validate the candidate’s identity and eligibility against a backend database, mark attendance, detect potential fraud (such as duplicate scans, expired tickets, or identity mismatches), and trigger automated email alerts to authorities. All transactions are logged in a relational database (MySQL) and administered via a PHP + Bootstrap dashboard. The proposed solution offers rapid verification (under 500 ms), audit-ready logs, and integration into existing institutional infrastructure.
