🚀 AureX - Smart Curriculum & Attendance

AureX is a modern solution for educational institutions designed to automate attendance, streamline academic management, and empower students to make the most of their time. It replaces manual, time-consuming processes with a smart, integrated, and secure digital platform.

❗ The Problem

Many educational institutions rely on manual attendance systems that are inefficient and prone to errors. This consumes valuable class time and leads to inaccurate records. Furthermore, students often lack structured guidance during free periods, leading to unproductive use of time and misalignment with their academic goals. There is a clear need for a unified tool that integrates daily schedules, personal planning, and automated tracking to enhance both administrative efficiency and student development.
