In a move to streamline faculty attendance and leverage biometric technology, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has announced that all medical colleges and institutions will transition to a face-based Aadhaar authentication system via the NMC AEBAS platform from May 1, 2025. At present, all private/ government medical colleges in the country are marking attendance of faculty and staff through the AEBAS (Aadhar Enabled Biometric Attendance System) system.The new system, replacing the current fingerprint-based biometric authentication, aims to improve user-friendliness and enhance accuracy in attendance marking. FACE-based Aadhaar Authentication, already deployed in other government offices through NIC, will now be implemented across medical institutions using a mobile app-based interface.For more information, click on the link below:NMC implements Face-Based Aadhaar Attendance in Medical Colleges
