Lucknow : The Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) is implementing blockchain technology for generating degrees and marksheets. This digital system creates and validates academic credentials through a secure computerised database, ensuring authenticity and preventing unauthorised altera- tions. AKTU officials said that blockchain provides a reliable method for issuing and managing digital credentials. This system eliminates possibilities of errors or manipulations in university documents. Students will have the ability to print their digital degrees as needed.
Following council approval, the university plans to implement this system in the upcoming academic session. “Cases of fraud in degree marksheets often come to the fore in many universities of the country and state. In view of this and further upgrading its technology, the university administration has now decided to use blockchain technology,” said AKTU vice chancellor Prof JP Pandey. He explained that students’ examination and result information will be distributed across multiple ser- vers. The university will compile degree marksheets using roll numbers and other unique identifiers. The system’s security ensures that data remains protected even if individual servers face security breaches or disruptions. “Students will receive login credentials to access and print their degree marksheets as required. Blockchain enhances degree and marksheet security,” said the VC.
