I. INTRODUCTION
In India, the typical student journey involves admission in
kindergarten, followed by transitions between primary,
secondary, and high schools. Upon completing high school,
admission to a junior college is sought, and for graduation,
another change of college is often required. This repetitive cycle
is the norm for students. Given the vast population, nearly 26.3
million students graduate annually. Managing and verifying
such a vast volume of records poses significant challenges.
Unfortunately, this also creates an unwanted scenario where
fraudulent certificates are produced and tampered with by
concealed agencies. Our goal is to address these issues using
cutting-edge technologies. The fundamental student lifecycle
presents specific issues that warrant solutions. The primary
problem is that at each stage, students must present their
certificates for validation. This poses risks of certificate loss or
damage and places a substantial burden on validators who must Fig. 1 Architecture diagram of the proposed system.
