, Description:Technical field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to the systems and methods used to manage the data of schools and colleges. More particularly, the present invention is related to the use of block chain system and method in managing the data of schools and colleges which can include the information related to the marks sheets and certificates of the students.

Background of the Invention
A schools and colleges have numerous students who appear for tests and examinations, for the purpose of getting promoted to the next higher class. Higher the number of students in the schools and colleges, the amount of data which is generated will be higher, which creates a need for proper management system. Also the data of the students in the schools and colleges which can include the certificates, are highly confidential as they can be misused by the miscreants, which leads to origin of several racquets, where the miscreants can use the certificates to loot money from other students who require fake certificates for various purposes.
The management of the confidential data of the students is highly essential, as it has a huge impact on them when it comes to their career point of view. There are several systems which are in use, to mainly maintain the data of the students in the schools and colleges. The traditional system which was used by the schools and colleges is the physical paper form of the marks sheets and certificates of the test and exams the students appear in. The management of the papers is a tedious task and require more staff for the same work. The main disadvantage of this system is that the marks sheets and certificates are highly prone to misplacing and even theft.
The next generation system which was used by the schools and colleges is the use of computer system to manage the data. The data of the students i.e. the class they are in, the marks obtained, whether promoted or not, etc, can be saved in the computer systems, whose management i.e. saving and retrieval of the data is comparatively easy compared to the traditional method. But the use of computer systems in the data management of the student’s educational records poses high threat as the data can be can be easily stolen by the people who are expert in the computer usage, and can use the data against the students or for their personal benefits.
Therefore in order to manage the students’ educational records in the schools and colleges, there is a need for a secure system and method which can save, retrieve, and track the data of the students’ educational records. .

Objectives of the Invention
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a block chain system and method to maintain the data related to the educational records of the students in the schools and colleges.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a block chain system and method to maintain the data related to the educational records of the students in the schools and colleges, which can record and maintain the data related to the marks sheets of the students generated during internal tests and examinations, certificates gained during extracurricular activities held in schools and outside schools, certificates of students in the competitive examinations and so on.

Summary of the Invention
The present invention provides a block chain system and method to maintain the data related to the educational records of the students in the schools and colleges. With the help of the present invention, the data related to the educational records of the students in the schools and colleges can be recorded and maintained and stored which can include the data related to the marks sheets of the students generated during internal tests and examinations, certificates gained during extracurricular activities held in and outside the schools and colleges such as physical education including volley ball, throw ball, basketball, shot-put, discus throw, 100 m race, 500m race, and so on, education related competitions like quiz, debates, speeches, and so on, and various competitive exams like NTSE and so on. The present invention aims at providing an improved system which can save the data of the students securely which can be tracked.
According to the present invention, the blockchain technology is used in the data management of students’ educational records in the schools and colleges, where the educational records like marks sheets and certificates are saved in the blockchain system, which can tracked at any time. The data which is recorded in the system is mainly in the form of a list of transactions, where each data entry, retrieval etc., are considered as a transaction. The history of all the transactions which are made through the block chain system can be managed. The data which is created, saved and managed through the system is more transparent, secure and inalterable. The information which is recorded in the system is distributed and saved in the blocks of the block chain, and is saved in the server. The saved data is distributed into various blocks which are secure and which once entered cannot be altered.
The present invention creates a template for recording the data of the students in the schools and colleges which can include the marks sheets and various certificates. Initially, a template is created using the blockchain system, where the name of the student is entered and the related educational certificates of the student is saved against their name which once saved cannot be altered. The details of the student i.e. name, class etc., are filled in the created template by the school staff, which can be viewed by the members of the educational institution. Once all the details of the students are entered in the template, the template is saved in the system. The links for each student are provided in the template, which can be accessed by the members of the educational institution for accessing the information related to the student.
All the data related to a students’ is stored in the block chain system permanently, and is distributed and replicated into various blocks, which is shared among the members of the network. A block chain can have connectivity with multiple number of nodes and create a network, which are connected with each other. The data alteration or change can be carried out at each node of the block chain, where each block of the block chain represents a list of transactions and a hash to the previous block, except for the first block.
