The Central Board of School Examination (CBSE) will now enable students using the state-of-the-art Facial Recognition System to download their academic documents of classes X and XII.

The computer application matches the human face from a digital image already stored in the database. The computer and human interaction maps facial features. In a similar way, it will match a live image of the student with the photograph on the CBSE admit card already stored in the repository, and once successful, the certificate will be emailed to the student.
