The International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIIT-B) is a premier graduate school focused on IT and related disciplines. Known for academic excellence and innovation, IIIT-B continually explores technology-driven solutions to enhance student services and institutional efficiency.
Academic credentials like degrees, diplomas, and transcripts are core to a graduate’s professional journey. Traditionally, these remain paper-based — vulnerable to loss, forgery, and lengthy manual verification.
For institutions, issuing and validating these documents often involves resource-intensive processes that are slow, prone to bottlenecks, and difficult to scale.
With the growing demand for secure, portable, and verifiable credentials, IIIT-B required a solution that was:
To modernize its credentialing process, IIIT-Bangalore partnered with Ooru Digital’s CredIssuer – a digital credentialing platform enabling real-time issuance of tamper-proof, W3C-compliant certificates.
The collaboration saw IIIT-B issue verifiable digital credentials for its graduating batch, covering degrees, transcripts, and diplomas. These digital certificates:
Leveraged MOSIP’s open-source Inji framework and Inji Certify module for globally verifiable, W3C-compliant credentials.
Credentials were both print-ready and digitally shareable, meeting diverse needs.
Low-friction interface enabled issuance in a matter of clicks.
Approach can be replicated across institutions without heavy infrastructure changes.
IIIT-Bangalore and Ooru Digital plan to explore:
By embedding trust into every credential, IIIT-Bangalore and Ooru Digital have set a benchmark for how academic records should be managed in the digital era — secure, interoperable, and student-first. This collaboration demonstrates how digital public infrastructure, when applied to education, can reduce administrative friction, safeguard authenticity, and empower graduates to carry their achievements for life.
