Fingerprint Changes and Verification Failure among Senior Faculty
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The Medical Council of India (MCI) has decided to install biometric attendance machines in all medical colleges to combat the menace of rampant fudging of faculty records. The biometric attendance is supposed to be linked with Aadhaar cards and eliminate "ghost" faculty members. The move is part of the Digital Mission Mode Project (DMMP) to bring in more transparency in the attendance system in all medical colleges. The study was undertaken on the faculty of a GGS Medical College Faridkot, undergoing biometric verification for register with their Aadhar Card details so that it could be linked with the biometric attendance system for Online Faculty Attendance Monitoring System (OFAMOS) under DMMP project. The conclusion drawn, wearing down of fingerprint pattern was found to be a major source of errors in registering biometric fingerprint attendance. Databases developed by such methods are prone to limitations which have to be considering addition to fingerprints in order to improve inclusiveness and accuracy of the system.
