Key facts

Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) is implementing an artificial intelligence (AI) based mechanism for marking attendance and preparing seating plans for upcoming examinations.
The university has introduced admit cards featuring special barcodes to allow invigilators to access student details and identify tampering.
The attendance procedure involves scanning the barcode, capturing the student's photograph, scanning the first page of the answer booklet, and recording digital signatures on a tablet.
Real-time monitoring will be conducted via an examination dashboard at the control room, integrating data from 756 affiliated colleges across Uttar Pradesh.
The system is being launched as a pilot project during MTech examinations at the Centre for Advanced Studies.
