Lucknow, April 16 The Uttar Pradesh Education Selection Commission on Thursday announced a series of stringent measures, including a zero tolerance policy and AI-based surveillance, to ensure transparency and prevent malpractice in upcoming competitive examinations in the state.

Uttar Pradesh Education Selection Commission Chairman Prashant Kumar said the initiative follows Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's directive to make recruitment examinations fair, credible and completely free from cheating.

He asserted that maintaining the integrity of the examination process remains the top priority.

"A zero tolerance policy will be strictly enforced in all forthcoming examinations to ensure transparency, fairness and accountability at every level," Kumar added.

As part of the upgraded monitoring system, the Commission has established a state-of-the-art integrated control room at its headquarters.

The facility is equipped with more than two dozen high-resolution screens and advanced AI-enabled cameras that will provide real-time surveillance of examination centres across the state.

Officials said the system will allow authorities to keep a close watch on activities at every examination centre and detect any suspicious behaviour or irregularities instantly.

The AI-powered monitoring mechanism is expected to significantly reduce the chances of cheating and ensure a smooth and fair examination process.

Kumar emphasised that the Commission is combining technology with strict administrative measures to curb any attempt at malpractice.

He warned that strict action would be taken against candidates or officials found involved in unfair practices.

The Commission has also appealed to candidates to follow the rules and maintain honesty during the examinations.

Aspirants have been advised not to be misled by rumours or false information circulating on social media or other platforms.

Reiterating its commitment, the Commission said all necessary arrangements are being made to conduct examinations in a secure, transparent and merit-based manner, reinforcing public trust in the recruitment system.
