On May 10, an alleged cheating attempt during the Lecturer Cadre written examination conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) was detected through AI surveillance. The incident took place at Ismail National Women’s PG College in Meerut, where Krishna Pal, a candidate from the Divyang category, was caught using a mobile phone concealed in his crutch to cheat during the Chemistry paper. The AI-Integrated Control Command Room flagged his suspicious behavior, prompting immediate action from the centre superintendent. Police from Kotwali Police Station in Meerut arrested the candidate and filed an FIR under the Uttar Pradesh Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024. The Commission has since barred him from participating in the ongoing Lecturer Cadre Examination-2022. Prashant Kumar, the chairman of UPESSC, emphasized that AI monitoring will remain in place to uphold the integrity of the examination process.
