• Improve the traditional record-keeping method.

Do you know how our ancestors manage data? Firstly they used slate and pen then
paper and pen came into the picture then humans have innovated computers that stores
data. Now a technology called blockchain stores data like no other platform can store,
provide and manage.

Blockchain tracks the records of degrees, certifications in the most secure digital
form under the control of the holder’s digital credential. Many education institutions ask
students for verification through senior authorities blockchain technology removes the
role of a verifier.

Blockchain technology uses a distributed record-keeping system called a ledger. A
ledger holds the critical data in a digital form. The data in the blockchain is immutable as
no one can change or replace it once it is uploaded in the digital form of blocks. It
improves the transparency among the institutions and students.

Moreover, it allows students to record their resumes with credentials data. Students
can record their academic records in the most secured form. When students are
applying for jobs and hunting for jobs their crucial identifier documents will be secured.

another state. It happens with the easy process of blockchain selection of the same
subjects with their respective holder students’ names. It is a boon for students whose
parents have frequent job transfers from one state to another. In addition, it helps
students in transferring from primary to secondary and from secondary to college.

leaked before the execution of the exams. Blockchain technology can remit this kind of
leak. It is a highly secured platform to store students’ exam data.

Blockchain technology helps to identify unique inventions registered as patents and
copyrights. It is the most secure platform for intellectual property assets. It maintains
intellectual property at a low cost and high efficiency.

The scandals of replacing the paper publisher’s name, changing the real owner of the
document would not happen with this technology. As it saves information in the
embedded block form.

Moreover, NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) is the biggest trend in blockchain technology.
Students’ unique art or the paper is tokenized and it generates huge value for art
appreciators. NFTs, help students to protect their unique art and get the optimized credit
for creating it.
