The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is set to enhance its examination security measures by adopting the latest digital biometric technologies. This initiative aims to prevent impersonation, cheating, and fraud during its exams.

Consequently, the UPSC has issued a show cause notice to cancel her appointment.
