VII. CONCLUSION
We have selected this topic because Marksheet is a sensitive

document and to preventing it from getting misused by the
unauthorized user. As distribution of the Marksheets takes too
much time and maintaining these mark sheets is also a big deal
so to overcome all these problems this system is propose.
