Abstract : Despite their increased security, current centralized systems still have privacy, transparency, and service digitalization problems in higher education. This paper investigates how blockchain systems could be able to overcome these difficulties. It contrasts blockchain with centralized systems, emphasizing the challenges of platform adaption and data transport. Smart contracts are essential to the suggested blockchain architecture, which places an emphasis on the creation and verification of academic credentials. In order to show how the system may be used practically through testing in real-world situations, the paper describes the conceptual framework, architecture, and smart contract design.

Keywords : Blockchain Platforms, Smart Contracts, Conceptual Model, System Process Architecture, Decentralized System, Data Management, Higher Education Institution, Survey Paper.
