Aadhaar Authentication Optional for NBE Examinations, says Health Ministry
New Delhi: Through a recent Gazette notification, the Department of Health and Family Welfare has clarified that even though the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) may perform Aadhaar authentication for verifying the identity of candidates during various stages of national-level medical examinations, such Aadhaar authentication is voluntary.
Further, the Ministry has mentioned that the NBEMS shall have to obtain the concent of the Aadhaar number holder for the purpose of such authentication and it shall inform the Aadhaar number holder of alternate and viable means of identification and shall not deny any service to the Aadhaar number holder for refusing to, or being unable to, undergo Aadhaar authentication.
