Examination paper leakage is a severe issue affecting the integrity of academic evaluations. This project proposes an IoT-based smart locking and alert system to safeguard confidential examination materials during transportation and storage. The system utilizes an Arduino micro controller to control and monitor access using multi-level authentication methods namely, a fingerprint sensor and keypad for secure authorization. To ensure real-time tracking and unauthorized access prevention, a GPS module is integrated to provide location data, and a GSM module is used to send alerts via SMS in case of unauthorized attempts. Additionally, a buzzer acts as an immediate local alarm in the event of intrusion or failure of access validation.
