        abstract = {Large college campuses are often difficult to navigate, especially for new students, parents, and visitors during events or admissions. The challenge becomes greater when building house multiple departments, making it confusing to locate the exact destination. Traditional signboards and printed maps are insufficient, outdated, or unclear, causing delays and inconvenience. To solve this, we propose a QR-Based Campus Navigation System that provides a smart, real-time wayfinding solution for both outdoor and indoor navigation. QR codes placed at key outdoor points (e. g., main gate, library, auditorium) guide users to buildings, while additional QR codes placed inside buildings provide department-level details buildings provide department-level details and navigation to the exact location. The system uses and interactive, mobile-friendly web interface where users can scan a QR code, select their destination, and receive the shortest and unambiguous route using Dijkstra algorithms. It also supports multi-language and optional voice guidance for inclusivity. Developed with HTML, JavaScript, Firebase and Leaflet.js, this solution reduces the need for paper maps, saves time, and minimizes manual guidance. The system is scalable, customizable, and demonstrates a practical application of QR code technology and algorithmic Pathfinding in real-world campus environments. Ultimately, it improves user experience by offering a paperless, efficient, and intelligent navigation system for modern educational institutions.},
