From facial recognition to QR
code: UPSC to revamp exam system after Puja Khedkar ‘fraud’ case
Extract:
The UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) is set to
overhaul its exam system to prevent impersonation, cheating, and fraud
following the Puja Khedkar fraud case.
This decision comes after an incident where a trainee IAS
officer allegedly used fake identity to appear in the civil services exam.
UPSC is now seeking tenders for biometric technologies,
including facial recognition and QR codes, to tighten security measures during
exams.
These new measures aim to enhance authentication and
prevent malpractices in the examination process.

My Take:
Mobile-Based Attendance System……….20/08/2022
Reflecting on the progression towards advanced biometric
technologies in exam security by UPSC, I recall my previous blog post
advocating for the use of mobile attendance systems to streamline processes.
The recent adoption of facial recognition systems for
attendance in Andhra Pradesh echos the importance of leveraging modern
technology for effective governance.
The shift from traditional methods to more sophisticated
tools aligns with the need for enhanced security measures to tackle
malpractices, mirroring the essence of my earlier suggestions for optimizing
attendance monitoring systems.

Data-Rich India: Nothing Can Beat
This…….24/04/2017
Emphasizing the limitations of outdated biometric
attendance systems in extracting meaningful data, the move by UPSC towards
advanced biometric technologies signifies a crucial advancement in data
collection and analysis.
By highlighting the necessity to evolve from archaic
systems to more efficient ones, UPSC's initiative resonates with the call to
modernize operational mechanisms for improved outcomes.
The transition towards facial recognition and QR code
systems reflects a strategic approach to combatting fraud and enhancing exam
integrity, underscoring the significance of data-driven decision-making.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call to Action:
To the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC): Implementing
cutting-edge biometric technologies is a progressive step towards ensuring the
integrity and credibility of exams.
I urge UPSC to continue exploring innovative solutions and
evolving examination processes to stay ahead of fraudulent activities to
maintain the sanctity of the civil services exams.
Keep up the momentum in adopting advanced security measures
to uphold the reputation and fairness of the selection process for aspiring
civil servants.
Hoping to spark positive changes and
advancements in political nomination dynamics with the integration of modern
technology and robust security measures.
