Managing the Student Results using Block Chain to Facilitate all the Stakeholders of Educational System

Abstract

This paper expounds the use of Blockchain to record marks of students as it is very tedious to record and verify candidate’s credentials for academia and employer purpose. We find it very difficult to maintain the student marks for any college or university. Any educational institution is duty bound to provide the student results at any point of time. Result of a student can be challenged at any point of time. So, any institute is supposed to store and maintain the results over a period of time. In this paper, an attempt has been made to solve some of the difficulties of students’ result management system. Now education uses Bitcoin technology to record credentials. We have used Block chain technology to record student’s achievements in a cheap, secure and public way. It is also beneficial for employer to spend valuable time checking educational credentials by having to call universities or to pay a third party to do so. In this paper, we have used ethereum as the underlying blockchain due to its large scalability and ease of use. For development, we used Truffle to develop smart contracts and integrated it with the frontend using Web3JS. For deployment, our smart contracts on the blockchain network, we have used Infura and frontend will be deployed on Heroku for user interaction. My block chain is currently on Ropsten Testnet.
