“College will have to share GPS locations of points where it want the convenience of attendance marking via a mobile App,” said the notice marked to all the states and other health departments.The FACE Authentication App will be activated from April 24, and any college facing difficulties has to bring it to the notice of the technical team before April 30.“From 1st May, 2025, marking of attendance on NMC AEBAS vide Finger Authentication device will be discontinued and only the Face biometric Authentication (vide Mobile based App and/or wall mount device) on NMC AEBAS will be permitted,” the notice said.The NMC had last year introduced the AEBAS portal to enhance transparency and reduce manual interference. The idea was to eliminate the need for physical inspections and instead rely on data accuracy and surprise inspections.Officials then had said that the attendance system was not to harass doctors or students, but to make sure genuine doctors and faculty members are working in the medical college. “There should not be any ghost factory,” then NMC Secretary, Dr. B. Srinivas, told TNIE.
