The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) has introduced AI-based surveillance to enforce a zero-tolerance policy against exam malpractices. With real-time monitoring via an Integrated Control Room, the system aims to detect irregularities instantly, reduce human error, and ensure transparency, fairness, and merit-based recruitment in state exams.

Prayagraj: The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission will adopt a "zero tolerance" policy against malpractices in examinations by introducing AI-based surveillance to ensure transparency and fairness, officials said on Thursday.

The move, in line with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's directive for "cheating-free exams", involves the use of advanced technological interventions, including Artificial Intelligence surveillance, to monitor upcoming recruitment tests, an official statement said.

This move marks a shift towards a tech-driven examination framework designed to eliminate irregularities and restore candidate confidence in the state's recruitment process, it said.

The UPESSC is an integrated body which conducts recruitment exams for teaching and other education department posts in the state.
