The API is a basic REST API written to be called by the App built under Android Study Jams 2021. We built this API under the Org. Google Developer Student Club - DSI. There is basic work of the API is to provide routes to GET and POST the timetable of different classes that are conducted on our college campus. This app provides the data for the classes happening at Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Bangalore in real-time. This is still a system in development.

This project proposes an “Attendance Manager System” which also has a “Digital Time Table” in it.

The attendance management system allows students to track their attendance in any subject of their choice. They just have to add the subject of their choice and mark attended or missed for each class they have. Then the app will automatically generate and display a progress bar indicating their attendance percentage.

The digital timetable takes data from users like – year, branch & semester. Then it fetches & displays the timetable for the given data. Students get their class schedule in a few clicks, that too in a hassle-free manner.
