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Emphasizing the limitations of outdated biometric attendance systems in extracting meaningful data, the move by UPSC towards advanced biometric technologies signifies a crucial advancement in data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.
