To ensure test security and prevent proxy testing, Pearson VUE centers in India use biometric 'Palm Vein Recognition' technology. During check-in and every time you enter or exit the testing room (including during your 10-minute break), you must scan your palm. This technology maps the unique vein patterns under your skin. Refusal to provide this biometric data will result in a forfeiture of your exam fee and an inability to take the test. This record is linked to your profile to ensure you are the same person for all future attempts.
