DU to develop AI tool after detecting manipulated documents
Delhi University has found that some students are submitting fake or AI-generated documents during the admission process.
These documents have fake QR codes or show someone else's name.
The university is currently checking these documents manually, but it's hard because there are over 90,000 students.
To make this easier in the future, they plan to create an AI tool that can automatically detect fake documents.
The university has also warned students not to submit any fake or altered documents, or they could lose their admission and face legal action.
Delhi University has detected multiple instances of manipulated documents in the ongoing undergraduate admissions process.
The university plans to develop an AI-based verification tool for the next admission cycle to streamline document scrutiny.
Manipulated documents include digital certificates with fake QR codes and documents showing someone else's name.
The university has issued a public notice warning candidates against submitting AI-generated or digitally altered documents.
Candidates found submitting fraudulent documents may face cancellation of candidature, admission, and possible legal action.
