Entrance examinations are a means through which universities select prospective students for admission. Most of the entrance exams are conducted using pen-paper in an offline mode where the number of students appearing is also very high. The current entrance examination system with centralized servers to prone to single point of failure and faces threats with respect to leaks in question papers, copying by students during the exam, impersonation, manipulation of the answers, forging the score cards, difficulty in verifying the authenticity and reliability of score cards by the university, etc. To overcome these issues and to conduct entrance exams online in a secure manner and to make the process of verifying the score card easier, a framework based on private blockchain is proposed in this paper.
