It has been a problem and several studies have been conducted to know the reasons for dropping out to craft solutions appropriate and contextualized to different types of learning institutions. This study seeks to determine the dropout rates of the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology students in a state university in Nueva Ecija, Philippines during the Academic Year 2020-2021. The study was conducted in time of the coronavirus 2019 pandemic to understand the reasons of the IT students for dropping out. Descriptive research design was used in this study and statistical treatment such as frequency and percentage distributions were used to quantitatively describe the data. Results revealed that there is a 10.79% decrease in enrollment from the first semester during the second semester of Academic Year 2020-2021, majority of the students who have not enrolled are from the first year level, and the three major reasons why student-respondents decided to stop schooling are (1) availability of resources, (2) financial difficulties, and (3) conflicts with their work schedules. Researchers suggest that to lessen the number of student dropouts, instructors are encouraged to motivate their students, especially those in the first year level to continue their studies and strive to excel in their chosen program. Also, the guidance and counseling office of the college may craft programs and activities to boost the interest of the students to study hard amidst the challenges they encounter. Lastly, the students may be informed and introduced to different financial assistance such as scholarships available in the university.

Hence, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system has been developed to solve this problem, but it allows only checking student's attendance as they enter and exit the school premise only. In consequence, teachers in every subject still need to check and monitor students' attendance manually. Nevertheless, due to a usual large number of students entering and existing the school premise as they are tapping their RFID card, there is always a possibility of proxy attendance. Thus, Mobile-Based Attendance Monitoring System Using Face Tagging Technology (MBAMSUFTT) was developed to provide an attendance monitoring system through biometric authentication such as face recognition. The system serves as a tool for teachers to check and monitor student's attendance in most reliable and accurate way using their smart phones. The MBAMSUFTT generates attendance report intended for close monitoring and printing of student's attendance result. But the reliability of the attendance result (output) of the system depends on the quality of picture (input) sent by the user. Camera specification, ambiance lighting condition, and proper position of students while taking photo is exclusively required. The server and the mobile part can only run together if Wireless Fidelity is on, otherwise, monitoring will not be executed. As a developmental research, this study used the Agile Model based on System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) intended for building a project that can adapt to change requests quickly. The MBAMSUFTT was evaluated based on the ISO/IEC 25010; MBAMSUFTT's software quality characteristics by the IT experts, and its functionality, performance efficiency, and usability by the teachers. The analysis of the data revealed that the MBAMSUFTT serves its intended purpose in checking and monitoring students' attendance per subject area with more accurate and reliable attendance results and has also met the ISO software quality standards.
