UPSC's New Gatekeeper: Face Authentication Takes Center Stage at Exam Entry
Forget last-minute cramming, UPSC aspirants will now need to ensure their 'exam face' is perfectly recognizable. Gone are the days of a quick flash of the admit card; your very mug is now the ultimate bouncer, scanning for imposters with AI-powered precision. It seems the Union Public Service Commission has decided that if you're smart enough to ace their tests, you should certainly be smart enough not to blink wrong at the scanner. Welcome to the future, where your identity is no longer just on paper, but literally written all over your face.
This significant move by the UPSC marks a leap towards leveraging advanced AI technology to bolster the integrity of its highly competitive recruitment exams. By making face authentication mandatory, the Commission directly addresses long-standing concerns about impersonation, a persistent challenge that undermines fairness and trust in the examination system. The goal is clear: to ensure that only legitimate candidates sit for the papers, thereby enhancing the overall credibility and transparency of the selection process and upholding the sanctity of public service examinations.
