Delhi University to Introduce AI-Based Document Verification
Delhi University has found that some students are submitting fake documents during the admission process.
These documents have fake QR codes or belong to other people.
The university is planning to use AI to check these documents automatically in the next admission cycle.
This will help them catch fake documents faster and make the process more efficient.
However, some people are worried about privacy issues with using AI for this purpose.
Delhi University plans to introduce an AI-based document verification tool for the next admission cycle.
The move comes after reports of manipulated documents during the ongoing undergraduate admission process.
Digital certificates with fraudulent QR codes have been identified, displaying incorrect or different information.
The university aims to streamline the verification process, which is currently manual and time-consuming.
Candidates found submitting fraudulent documents face cancellation of candidature and possible legal action.
