NEW DELHI: In a move to eliminate any scope of impersonation in recruitment exams, railways will implement Aadhaar-based facial recognition in all such tests across all centres in the next four months.
The step aimed at enhancing exam integrity follows a successful pilot by UIDAI during the 2025 NEET-UG.
The system authenticates candidates through real-time facial matching at the time of registration and during the exam using Aadhaar e-KYC . Photographs captured at application, registration, and examination stages is matched for post-exam verification as well.
For smooth digital operations, the railways has deployed 500 high-capacity servers , replacing older infrastructure to eliminate download failures and glitches.
Also, over 7,000 exam centres now have jammers which have led to zero cheating cases in 2025, officials said.
