LAHORE (HRNW): In a major move to ensure transparency and prevent the entry of proxy candidates into examination centers, educational boards have officially made biometric verification mandatory for all students.
The decision, aimed at overhauling the examination system, was announced by a consensus of educational boards. Moving forward, no student will be allowed to enter an examination hall without successful biometric authentication.
Directives for Educational Institutions:
-
Compulsory Compliance: All government and affiliated private schools and colleges have been issued strict instructions to implement the new system.
-
Infrastructure Requirements: Institutions must ensure the availability of biometric devices and compatible computer systems.
-
Registration Prerequisite: It is now mandatory for these facilities to be fully operational before the student registration process begins.
Impact on Transparency:
Educational authorities stated that this technological intervention is designed to curb the long-standing issue of “impersonation” where unauthorized individuals attempt to take exams on behalf of registered students. By linking student identities to their biometric data at the point of entry, the boards aim to protect the integrity of the results and ensure a merit-based environment.
The boards have reiterated that any candidate failing to complete the verification process will be strictly prohibited from sitting for their exams.
