REET 2025: RBSE notifies dress code; use of face-recognition to identify fake candidates

NEW DELHI: In a first, the Board of Secondary Education (BSER) is introducing face-recognition technology in the Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers (REET) 2025. The board has also notified the dress code for REET exam 2025 and asked candidates to wear plain clothes and slippers or sandals.

“Use of face recognition technology for the first time, monitoring at multiple levels for privacy. On February 27 and 28, candidates will appear for the exam in plain clothes, slippers and sandals,” the board said in a post on X.
