How ‘Chakravyuh' tore apart UP cheating mafia
Lucknow: The state govt had devised a 'Chakravyuh' to dismantle cheating mafia and conduct the UP Police constable direct recruitment examination in a fair, transparent, and secure manner, officials said. Artificial Intelligence (AI) played a pivotal role, helping ensure airtight arrangements to prevent any malpractice. "The integrity and confidentiality of the question papers were meticulously maintained with secure identification markers and multi-layer tamper-proof packaging. With this robust system, the govt not only foiled attempts at mass cheating but transformed the police recruitment exam into a benchmark of fairness," an officer said. "Direct supervision by chief minister Yogi Adityanath turned this into a national model, now being adopted by other states," an officer added. "To conduct the exam for 60,244 constable posts smoothly, CM Yogi directed the UP Police recruitment and promotion board to harness modern technology. Using AI, a massive bank of 15,000 questions was prepared and randomised during paper creation. To eliminate the possibility of copying, eight versions of each question paper were generated and distributed in such a way that no two adjacent candidates received the same version," an officer in the recruitment board said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like USDJPY đang đi lên không?

"To secure candidate identity, Aadhaar-based verification was mandatory. For those not verified online, biometric authentication was carried out at centres. AI-enabled facial recognition cameras were used to check candidate identity. Every centre had its own command and control room" the officer said. "A list of 1,541 known solver gang members and cheating mafia operatives was prepared. Action began even before the exam commenced," he said.
