NEET and JEE Entrance Exams: In the last few years, the most important national level entrance exams of the country, namely NEET and JEE, have increased the number of malpractices such as dummy candidates, paper-splitting, and concealing the identity of the exam. Against this backdrop, the National Examinations Council (NTA) is now taking strict steps, and from 2026, facial recognition technology will be made mandatory in the examination process. NTA is confident that this initiative will increase transparency in the entire examination process and prevent fraud forever.

Under the new system, it will now be mandatory for candidates to upload a live photo from their mobile or computer camera while submitting their application form. This change is being implemented as per the recommendations of the Radhakrishnan Committee set up by the Central Government and this will allow immediate identification of the difference between the identity of both the applying student and the candidate appearing for the actual examination.

A pilot test of ‘Aadhaar-based facial recognition’ was conducted at select centers in Delhi during the NEET 2025 examination. As this experiment has been completely successful, the decision to implement this technique at all centers in the country from 2026 is in the final stage.

In this technology, artificial intelligence (AI) deeply analyzes the candidate’s facial features and saves them in a database. Every student who reaches the exam center will be face checked through live scan and no one will be allowed into the exam hall unless their identity matches the database.
