Face Authentication Technology Used in UPSC Prelims 

This year, UPSC introduced real-time face authentication during the Civil Services Preliminary Examination for the first time to strengthen security and prevent impersonation. 

The technology was developed domestically and implemented with the support of the National e-Governance Division under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. 

UPSC stated that this was one of the largest face authentication operations conducted by the Commission during an examination process. 

UPSC Chairman Ajay Kumar appreciated the efforts of the Commission’s officials, the National e-Governance Division, and the National Informatics Centre for successfully carrying out the technology-driven initiative. 

He described the implementation of the face authentication system as one of the Commission’s most challenging operational exercises.
