In an effort to maintain the integrity of its examinations and prevent cheating and impersonation, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is set to implement the use of cutting-edge technology. Amidst concerns about irregularities in NEET and NET exams, the UPSC aims to incorporate advanced measures such as facial recognition and AI-based CCTV surveillance.
The commission has initiated the process by issuing a tender and inviting bids from experienced public sector undertakings to develop two technological solutions. These include “Aadhaar-based fingerprint authentication (or digital fingerprint capturing) and facial recognition of candidates and QR code scanning of e-admit cards” as well as “Live AI-based CCTV surveillance service.” The official tender document can be accessed .
To enhance the examination process, the UPSC plans to introduce Aadhaar-based fingerprint authentication, facial recognition of candidates, QR code scanning of e-admit cards, and the monitoring of live AI-based CCTV video surveillance. The incorporation of a real-time attendance monitoring system equipped with GPS coordinates and timestamps aims to ensure the completion of enrollment during the designated shift. Additionally, the commission will implement CCTV/video surveillance with recording and live broadcast systems to effectively monitor candidates and exam personnel at various centres nationwide. These systems will generate alerts for any detected movement at entry/exit gates, improper arrangement of furniture, offline cameras, or inactivity of invigilators, ensuring zero blind spots and real-time monitoring.
