Challenge Objectives
Participants are required to develop an end-to-end AI application capable of robust facial verification and one-to-many matching against historical applicant databases. The solution should automatically detect duplicate applications and issue a unique ID for every authorized applicant, thus safeguarding the integrity of the examination process.
The challenge emphasizes moving beyond traditional logic-based verification methods by using advanced AI algorithms for automated detection and verification. The solution must be highly reliable, scalable, and adaptable to different public examination settings across India.
Exciting Prizes and Opportunities
Up to 10 shortlisted teams will receive INR 5 lakhs each to refine and test their solutions on sample datasets. Furthermore, the top two teams may be awarded a two-year contract along with up to INR 1 crore for deployment of their final solution.
This initiative aligns with the Government of India’s vision of leveraging AI for inclusive growth and responsible technological development, promoting innovation and digital solutions in governance.
