New Delhi: The Ministry of Health enabled the national examination in medical sciences (NBEM) to use the authentication of Aadhaar on a voluntary basis to verify the identity of candidates on medical examinations at the national level. The aim of this initiative is to prevent personification and other fraudulent activities using Aadhaara biometric and demographic data to provide reliable digital control at different stages of tests.
This step comes against the background of the Mint report on the Indian Indian Medical Education Regulator, the National Medical Commission (NMC), indicating serious discrepancies in admission for the academic year 2024-25, leading to an urgent directive for all medical universities to examine their students again.
The NBEMS, an autonomous body under the Ministry of Health, is responsible for performing a large number of postgraduate and postdoctoral medical tests, including key input and output tests.
The new Directive was announced on August 22 and candidates will now have the opportunity to use their Aadhaar number to verify identity at different stages of these exams. This process will be voluntary and will offer candidates to select the “YES/No” device or the EKLYC (EKLECIC KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER) to confirm their identity, reported the announcement that Mint saw.
The aim of this step is to check cases of personification and other incorrect practices that have touched the image of competing tests, and the Ministry of Health is also trying to bring more transparency, build confidence between candidates and strengthen administrative responsibility across all.
A detailed implementation plan will be outlined by NBEMS, but the main mechanism includes digital authentication against Aadhaar database. “If the candidate decides to authenticate Aadhaar, their Aadhaar number, perhaps in addition to biometric (such as fingerprints or facial scanning) or demographic data, will be crossed for central identity data (CIDR), which is actually managed by” official “official authority,” The official, “official,” he said that the official, “official,” he said that the official, “official,” he said “official”.
“By minimizing chances for fraudulent practices, the system ensures that only really deserved and qualified individuals ensure acceptance or certification,” the official added. “This promotes the credibility of the medical qualifications awarded by the NBEMS and in the extension of the entire medical profession. He sends a strong message that merit will be the only determining factor to strengthen the morale of hardworking students and their families.”
“The robust and safe system of examination contributes to a stronger and more reliable workforce for the nation.” The clerk said.
