Aadhaar Biometric System: A First for Telangana Intermediate Evaluations

How It Works:

- 600–1,200 staff members are deployed per evaluation center.
- The biometric system reduces the risk of proxy evaluators and delays.
TSBIE officials stated, “This step ensures accountability and speeds up the evaluation process, guaranteeing timely results.”
Exam Statistics and Malpractice Cases
The 2025 Intermediate exams saw 4.44 lakh registered students, with 4.31 lakh (97%) appearing for the tests. Key details include:
- 14 malpractice cases reported, including 11 in Suryapet district.
- Observers monitored sensitive districts like Medak, Karimnagar, and Hyderabad.
- Vocational Bridge Course exams will conclude on March 25.
Evaluation Timeline and Result Declaration
The answer sheet evaluation, which started on March 19, will continue until April 10. Post-evaluation steps include:

- Final approval by TSBIE.
Officials confirmed that results will be announced by April 20, accessible via the TSBIE website.

With exams concluding on March 20, students celebrated outside exam centers, crowding bus stands and railway stations. “The exams were challenging, but we’re relieved they’re over,” said a student from Hyderabad. Authorities maintained strict vigilance, debarring candidates attempting malpractice during tests.
Why Aadhaar Biometrics Matter for Telangana’s Education System
The TSBIE’s adoption of Aadhaar-based biometrics marks a digital shift in exam governance, addressing past concerns like:
- Delays in evaluation.
- Proxy evaluators affecting accuracy.
- Lack of transparency in grading.
This system aligns with Telangana’s broader push for tech-driven education reforms, including AI-based surveillance during exams.

- Prepare for EAMCET, NEET, and other entrance exams scheduled in May.
The Telangana Intermediate 2025 exams have set a precedent with Aadhaar-based biometric verification for evaluators, ensuring a fair and efficient assessment process. Students can expect results by April 20, 2025, as the state continues to innovate its education framework.
