Blockchain technology is an emerging area of research that is being explored by various organizations and industries due to its potential to revolutionize traditional processes and establish secure and transparent systems. In the education sector, there is an increasing demand for reliable and tamper-proof identity management solutions. To address this, this project proposes the creation of a blockchain-based NFT version of student matriculation cards and a user-friendly interface for students to generate these NFT cards. In addition, blockchain-based solution for employers to search and verify the authenticity of the students' credentials. The objective of this project is to develop a secure and transparent system for managing and verifying student credentials through the use of smart contracts and a searchable database of student records. Furthermore, the project aims to implement a blockchain-based attendance verification system that will utilize the immutability of the blockchain to authenticate attendance records. By leveraging blockchain technology, this project has successfully improved the education industry by ensuring the authenticity of student records, preventing fraud, and creating a reliable system for verifying academic achievements. As a result, employers can now access trustworthy and verifiable information about potential employees, while students can have confidence that their academic credentials are secure and tamper-proof. Overall, this project has successfully implemented a unique solution to create a more secure and trustworthy system for managing student records in the education industry.
