Palm-vein scanning for GMAT applicants
Categories: B-school News
Palm-vein scanning begins July 2009 in India and Korea.
According to Wall street journal, GMAT test takers will now have to undergo this scan which takes an infra red picture of their hands. Students will let their hands hover for a few seconds over the device which is roughly 1.4-inch cube and captures the vein patterns in their palms for an image that will be archived along with test results.The image is highly accurate and unique to every test taker. this process will help prevent high scoring ‘proxy’ test takers sitting in place of candidates and curb cheating. Five years ago, federal authorities broke up a ring of six fraudsters who took more than 590 exams, including GMATs, for customers who paid at least $3,000.
