Candidates taking the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2026 will go through an AI-based facial recognition check as part of identity verification. IIM Indore will introduce the system at all its exam centres, its director, Himanshu Rai, said.
“It is being introduced for the first time for CAT. The procedure will be implemented across all examination centres,” he said.
Candidates’ admit cards will still be physically checked, as before. “So, students need not worry about denial of entry into the centres due to any glitches or the AI system failing to recognise the candidate’s face,” Rai added.
