Huacho University Cancels Admission Exam After Suspected Answer Leak

Authorities have opened an inquiry after university officials said they detected a possible transmission of answers during the test.

Overview

  • UNJFSC annulled its Ordinary 2027-I admission exam after the session on Sunday and notified candidates that the test will be reprogrammed for September 13.
  • The university says security traced unusual sounds with a drone to a motorcycle and then to a property in Manzanares, where five people were detained and materials allegedly linked to the exam were seized.
  • Investigators are examining circulating audio recordings that claim the sale of places in the Nursing program, but the authenticity and connection of those audios to the leak remain under review.
  • Other national universities ran or scheduled admission tests on September 6 and announced they will publish official results once same-day processing of scores and lists is complete.
  • The annulment was formalized by a presidential council resolution at UNJFSC and has heightened pressure on candidates who face lost travel costs and uncertainty while a formal probe determines how exam materials were exposed.
