The Bihar Police Subordinate Services Commission (BPSSC) used artificial intelligence (AI)-powered system to prevent cheating during the preliminary examination for 1,275 posts of sub-inspectors on Sunday.

Around 6.60 lakh aspirants appeared in the preliminary examination.

“The BPSSC is using AI-powered systems to detect and prevent cheating, such as impersonation and plagiarism during the examination in all 613 centres in all 38 districts,” BPSSC chairman K.S. Dwivedi said.

AI-powered systems can use facial recognition, eye tracking, and other technologies to monitor students during the exam.

“This time, unique numbering was done on every page of the question paper to prevent it from going viral. All centres were closely monitored by the central command room at BPSSC headquarters in Patna,” Dwivedi said.

He added: “Examinees, invigilators, administrators and exit-entry points of all centres were monitored with the help of 16,500 CCTV cameras. These CCTVs were connected to the BPSSC headquarters.”
