Three-Layer Security and Early Reporting Norms for MPPSC Prelims 2026 The MPPSC (Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission) has introduced a three-layer security framework for the preliminary examinations scheduled for 2026, aiming to enhance transparency and prevent impersonation. The new measures include biometric authentication, which will involve fingerprint verification through dedicated machines, QR code scanning on admit cards, facial recognition, iris scanning, and digital signature matching. These steps are designed to ensure accurate identity confirmation and eliminate the risk of fraudulent entries. MPPSC chairman Rajesh Lal Mehra emphasized that the technology-driven approach will strengthen the credibility of the examination process and make it more robust. In addition to biometric checks, the commission has deployed CCTV cameras in all examination halls, with live feeds transmitted to a central control room at the commission’s headquarters. This real-time monitoring system allows for immediate detection and resolution of any irregularities during the exam. Mehra stated that such proactive measures will safeguard the integrity of the process and ensure a fair environment for all candidates. The MPPSC conducts over 25 examinations annually, covering a wide range of recruitment opportunities. For the 2026 cycle, the commission has announced vacancies for 155 state service posts and 36 forest service positions. However, the number of available roles may increase based on the specific demands of various departments. This flexibility allows the commission to adapt to changing administrative needs while maintaining a competitive selection process. The new security protocols are expected to be implemented in other examinations conducted by the MPPSC in the coming years.#madhya_pradesh #mppsc #biometric_authentication #cctv_cameras #rajesh_lal_mehra
