UPSC To Introduce Biometric Authentication And AI Surveillance From June 2025 To Prevent Exam Malpractices

PUBLISH DATE 23rd May 2025

UPSC Exam Security Authentication: The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is set to introduce a robust security framework for its examinations, marking a significant shift towards technology-driven invigilation. Starting June 2025, UPSC will roll out Aadhaar-based biometric authentication and AI-powered surveillance across its examination centres. This move is a direct response to recent incidents of impersonation and malpractices, such as the Puja Khedkar forgery case, which have raised concerns about the integrity of India’s premier recruitment process.

The initiative will not impact the Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination 2025, scheduled to be held across 80 centres with nearly 9.5 lakh candidates expected to participate. The Commission has clarified that the new security measures will be introduced for all subsequent examinations, ensuring a phased and systematic implementation. The decision follows a series of controversies and irregularities in national-level recruitment exams, prompting the UPSC to adopt advanced technological solutions to restore public trust and safeguard the sanctity of its processes.

Aadhaar-Based Biometric Authentication: How It Works

Under the new system, candidates will be required to undergo Aadhaar-based fingerprint authentication at various stages of the examination process. This will begin at the time of online registration and extend to the day of the exam, where candidates’ identities will be verified using biometric data and facial recognition technology. The process is designed to eliminate impersonation and ensure that only genuine candidates appear for the tests. QR code scanning of e-admit cards will further enhance verification, with handheld devices deployed at each venue for real-time checks.

The UPSC has also mandated the use of live AI-based CCTV surveillance to monitor examination halls, entry and exit points, and control rooms. Each classroom will have at least one CCTV camera for every 24 candidates, ensuring comprehensive coverage and real-time alerts for any suspicious activity. The system will generate alerts for unauthorized movements, offline cameras, or inactivity of invigilators, thereby maintaining a secure and transparent examination environment.

Enhancing Exam Integrity and Candidate Experience

The integration of biometric authentication and AI surveillance is expected to significantly reduce instances of cheating and fraud. The UPSC has emphasized that the adoption of these technologies is part of its broader commitment to conducting exams in a free, fair, and impartial manner. The Commission will provide candidates with detailed guidelines and support to ensure a smooth transition to the new system, minimizing inconvenience while maximizing security.

These measures are part of a nationwide trend, with other central recruitment agencies like the SSC also adopting biometric authentication to strengthen the credibility of their examination processes. The UPSC’s initiative sets a new standard for exam integrity, ensuring that only the most deserving candidates succeed in India’s competitive recruitment landscape.
