New Delhi: The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has invited tenders for the latest digital biometric technologies to enhance measures against impersonation, cheating, and fraud during its examinations.<\/p>\n
This comes after UPSC found that trainee IAS officer Puja Khedkar allegedly faked her identity to appear in civil services exam. Last week, it issued a show cause notice to cancel her appointment.<\/p>\n
The controversial IAS officer \u201cfraudulently availed attempts beyond the permissible limit under the Examination Rules by faking her identity by way of changing her name, her father\u2019s & mother\u2019s name, her photograph\/ signature, her email ID, mobile number and address,\u201d UPSC said in a statement.<\/p>\n

UPSC said it attaches great importance to the conduct of its examinations in a free, fair and impartial manner. To uphold these standards, it plans to use the latest digital technology to match and cross-check candidates\u2019 biometric details and monitor activities during exams, aiming to prevent cheating, fraud, unfair practices, and impersonation.<\/p>\n
The UPSC plans to enhance exam security by implementing:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Aadhaar-based fingerprint authentication or digital fingerprint capturing,<\/p>\n
\u2022 Facial recognition for candidates<\/p>\n
\u2022 Also use QR code scanning for e-Admit Cards<\/p>\n

It stated that it may, at its discretion, choose to use any, all, or a combination of these services, either partially or fully, during its exams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
