This project aims to develop a Campus NightPass System for Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala, enhancing the access and management of on-campus resources during late hours. The system will allow students to request and obtain permission to leave their hostels after 08:30 pm for academic purposes by booking available seats in laboratories, libraries, and discussion rooms on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure security and accountability, the system will also provide a robust verification process for students checking in and out of these facilities.
- Enable students to book late-night permissions for academic purposes in on-campus facilities.
- Implement a secure and efficient identity verification process for students.
- Provide real-time tracking of student check-in and check-out activities.
- Alert security personnel in case a student is checked out but not checked in within 20 minutes.

The Campus NightPass System will include the following key features:
-
Profile Management
- Profile information will include student ID, contact details, and a scanned photo for biometric verification.
-
Late Night Permission Booking
- Students can book available seats in on-campus facilities.
- Booking can be made on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Each booking location will have an upper limit.
-
Verification Mechanism
- Two methods of verification: Manual Verification and Face Biometric Verification.
- Manual Verification: Security personnel can manually verify student data upon scanning the permission code.
- Face Biometric Verification: Security personnel can use their phone camera for biometric verification.
-
Check-In and Check-Out System
- Upon successful verification, students will be marked as 'Checked Out.'
- Upon arrival at their destination, students will be marked as 'Checked In.'
- If the student doesn't check in within 20 minutes after checking out, an alert is sent to security personnel.
-
Security Personnel Dashboard
- Security personnel will have access to a dashboard displaying student permissions, check-in/check-out activities, and last activity records.
The Campus NightPass System will provide the following benefits:
- Improved management of on-campus resources during late hours.
- Enhanced security and accountability for students leaving their hostels.
- Real-time tracking of student activities for increased safety.
- Notification system for late check-ins, ensuring student well-being.
The project will be divided into the following phases:
