Overview for Introduction to Blockchain.
Introduction to Blockchain is a 2-credit Skill Enhancement Course (SEC) under Delhi University's UGCF 2022, taught in 2025-26 as a 0 lecture, 0 tutorial, 2 practical (p.1 credit table). As per the official syllabus on academicaffairs.du.ac.in, the course is organised as two 16-hour theory blocks — Unit-1 Blockchain basics, node fundamentals, Ethereum, smart contract and DApp development in Ethereum plus Hyperledger fundamentals (16 hours) and Unit-2 Fabric network setup, chaincode and DApp development (16 hours) — plus a 28-hour capstone project. Capstone project is an assignment/project building a distributed application on Hyperledger Fabric (p.2). Evaluation is 'as per guidelines notified by the University of Delhi' (p.2). Students often describe blockchain generically and lose marks on specifics like how Ethereum transactions are validated by miners, Solidity for smart contracts, or Hyperledger chaincode — all listed as outcomes and asked viva-style. For revision, map each PYQ to its unit — middle units repeat most — and confirm your college's exact paper code before the exam, as SEC codes vary by theme (as of 12 Sept 2026).

What you will study (broad UGCF outline — verify from your college): The DU syllabus is organised into four units. For Introduction to Blockchain, the broad coverage is:
Exam pattern & marking: The paper is typically theory plus practical/internal assessment — often 50-75 marks theory with 25 marks internal/practical, or 2-credit evaluation via continuous assessment, presentations and a semester-end exam. Questions are a mix of short notes (5-6 marks) and applied long answers (10-15 marks) drawn directly from the four units. Examiners look for unit-wise structure, one relevant example or tool per answer, and a clear conclusion. For practical SECs, viva and file work carry significant weight.
How to prepare & what is missing: Start with the syllabus Units 1-4 listed above, then solve the PYQs shown on this page side-by-side to mark which unit each question came from. That 10-minute mapping tells you which units repeat most (usually the middle units).
