The government has announced that pre‑university (PUC) examinations in the Delhi‑NCR region will be equipped with tamper‑proof technology as part of a broader upgrade plan, with a nationwide rollout expected later.
The Ministry of Education has unveiled a new upgrade plan that will introduce tamper‑proof technology in pre‑university (PUC) examinations across the Delhi‑NCR region. The move aims to enhance the integrity of exam papers and reduce the risk of cheating or manipulation.
Under the plan, each PUC exam paper will be embedded with a unique, tamper‑evident watermark that can be verified by exam authorities. The technology will also enable real‑time monitoring of paper handling during the printing and distribution stages.
Implementation is slated to begin in the upcoming academic year, with pilot testing in selected schools before a full rollout across the region. The government has indicated that a similar system will be rolled out nationwide in the coming months.
Officials expect the new system to increase confidence among students, teachers and parents in the fairness of the examination process, while also streamlining the logistics of paper production and distribution.
