Abstract: In academic programs such as B. Tech, students are supposed to achieve some activity points at the end of every academic year. Programs like B. Tech last about four years. Each year, students are supposed to submit their certificates and other information related to the activities they completed. These activities are then subjected to score calculation. Every student should score a minimum of one hundred activity points per year for the successful completion of that academic year. These extra academic activities are supposed to improve the quality of learning. These improvements may reflect in their future career achievements. Achieving valid activity points is not an easy task. There exist certain rules and regulations for calculating these rules. The activities performed on such software-based systems are susceptible to manipulations. It is easy to make a student victim by modifying the content of the database. Therefore, the entire system processes are recorded using block chain technology. Block chain with Sha256 encoding uses hash code from previous block and current activity to register a new hash. Manipulations will produce entirely different hash codes. The change in such codes can help identify any sort of malpractice in the system. Additionally, a notification system is also created for the students to identify the mentor who verified their entries. The block chain technology incorporated into the system even tracks password changes. Therefore, any sort of activity can be recognized.
