According to KEA, several new measures were introduced this year to ensure greater transparency and fairness in the examination process:
• Facial recognition technology was implemented for candidate verification at exam centers using a mobile app developed by the KEA IT team.
• CCTV surveillance and live webcasting were conducted across all exam centers, with real-time monitoring at district-level control rooms.
• Security protocols included the deployment of one home guard per 100 candidates, with frisking carried out under police supervision.
• OMR Sheets Access: Over 11.67 lakh OMR answer sheets were uploaded on the KEA website post-examination, allowing public access for verification—an initiative reflecting the commitment to transparency.
