Student Academic Life Cycle and Blockchain

A Student’s relationship with the Educational institute or university starts from aspiration to education and, in most or few cases, begins as early as Schooling, continue with Graduation and Higher Education. There is a high scope for collaboration with universities and other specialized courses that need proof of the former association.

Technology has evolved multi-fold, and the world has adopted a technology-led education system; emerging technologies have the power to assimilate, archive and share access to the requested information.

Credentials are an essential element in a modern economy. As the economy progresses, it utilizes efficient and effective credential infrastructure. As we move towards an increasingly digitized workplace environment, it has become of utmost importance and necessity to quickly and securely prove a person’s identity and credentials. Today’s workforce and employment heavily depend on proof of identity and verified credentials in KYC and Educational and employment validation.

Blockchains are already changing the economic landscape and still can significantly impact the education sector in the present times. As trust in Blockchain grows, we are starting to see major educational institutions drift towards blockchain-enabled solutions. Blockchain provides the technical infrastructure to store and manage students documents and certificates reliably. Blockchain records are kept permanently, so various important and related documents can be secured and verified, regardless of whether or not a user has access to an institution’s record-keeping system. Rather than storing the student identity document, the blockchain network stores information(hash) about that document which is immutable, time-stamped, and transparent.
