The use of Artificial Intelligence in Rajasthan University examinations involves both high-tech anti-cheating surveillance and major administrative failures in paper generation. Recently, the university was forced to abruptly cancel an MA Sociology exam because the printed question paper contained pre-written answers instead of actual questions, an error attributed to the unverified use of AI tools by faculty.

High-Profile Incidents & Controversies
- The Sociology Paper Blunder: In June 2026, students at the PG School of Humanities received an “Indian Society” question paper that consisted entirely of printed theory and answers rather than questions to be solved.
- Lack of Oversight: The incident exposed severe gaps in human verification. Faculty members had reportedly used AI tools to generate the paper but failed to proofread or review the final output before it was distributed.
- Cancellations: The exam was immediately halted and cancelled for approximately 300 affected students. The administration rescheduled the examination to a later date and launched an inquiry into the lapse. [3]
AI for Exam Security & Surveillance
While AI-generated content led to academic chaos, the state of Rajasthan actively deploys AI for examination security across various competitive and state-level tests.
- Live Command Centres: State examinations (such as the REET D.El.Ed) utilize AI-based monitoring to ensure transparency and prevent cheating.
- Video Analytics: Centralized control rooms in Jaipur are used to monitor thousands of exam centers simultaneously using live video streaming and AI-triggered alerts for suspicious activity. [2]
