CAT 2026 will try AI-based facial recognition to verify candidates at exam centres for the first time, IIM Indore's director said.
It is an extra check: officials will still verify faces against admit cards, and no one will be turned away if the system fails to recognise them.
The exam is on November 29 at more than 350 centres; 2,89,961 candidates have registered.
