UPSSC Deploys AI Surveillance to Curb Exam Malpractices in Uttar Pradesh
The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) has announced the deployment of artificial intelligence-based surveillance systems to combat malpractices in upcoming recruitment examinations for teaching and education department posts. This initiative aligns with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s directive for conducting cheating-free exams and establishes a zero-tolerance policy against irregularities. To facilitate this, a state-of-the-art Integrated Control Room has been established at the commission’s headquarters, equipped with high-quality screens connected to AI-enabled cameras. This setup allows for real-time monitoring of examination centers and the immediate detection of suspicious activities or movements. UPESSC Chairman Prashant Kumar, a former police director general, emphasized that this tech-driven framework aims to eliminate human error and manual interference, thereby ensuring transparency and fairness. The commission warned that any attempts to use unfair means would result in stringent legal action, prioritizing the safeguarding of merit. Aspirants were urged to focus on their preparations and ignore rumors, as adequate safeguards are now in place to ensure a level playing field for all candidates in the state's recruitment process.
