Abstract: Faking of mark sheets, forging the mark sheets have become a major problem in today’s times in terms of gaining employment opportunities. India is moving towards digitization but this leads to easy forging or tampering of the online documents like the mark sheets. A mark sheet in the PDF format can easily be tampered and this leads to a fear among the institutions to provide soft copies of the mark sheets instead of hard copies. Blockchain is the new trend currently in the digital market. But apart from proving its importance in just the domain of finance it can also be used in the other domains. One among them is the verification of documents, mainly the marksheets for the employment domain, using their hash values. Blockchain provides the facility of adding up data items without giving the provision for editing them which proves the major security aspect of any database.

Keywords: Blockchain, metamask, ethereum, transaction, ganache, smart contracts, solidity.
