Educational institutions are progressively transitioning toward digital administration; however, many campuses continue to depend on manual attendance registers, handwritten movement logs, and decentralized monitoring practices. Such approaches are inefficient and vulnerable to inaccuracies.This paper presents CampusIQ, an Internet of Things (IoT) enabled smart campus automation system that integrates Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology with wireless cloud communication. The proposed system automates classroom attendance recording, campus entry-exit tracking, hostel supervision, and library visit logging within a unified architecture. RC522 RFID modules interfaced with ESP8266 Wi-Fi microcontrollers capture student identification data and transmit structured records to a cloud-based database.Experimental evaluation indicates improved operational efficiency, reduced manual workload, and enhanced transparency. The system offers a scalable and cost-effective framework suitable for medium-scale educational institutions
