Impersonator Detained at UNSA Admission Exam as University Announces Lifetime Ban

Biometric controls flagged the identity mismatch, prompting a Public Ministry investigation.

Overview

  • A 25-year-old was caught inside the Accounting pavilion taking the test for a 17-year-old applicant during the Nov. 2 CEPRUNSA engineering exam.
  • An exam controller noticed the test-taker’s nervousness, and a subsequent biometric check confirmed the identity mismatch, according to UNSA’s admissions director.
  • Divincri detained the suspect in flagrante and seized his DNI along with the true applicant’s card before referring the case to the Public Ministry.
  • UNSA will register both the impersonator and the impersonated applicant in its ineligibility database and bar them from reapplying under Article 118 of its 2026 Admission Regulations.
  • UNSA is preparing a report for its authorities and Sunedu, and media cite differing Penal Code ranges for identity-related crimes, with reports variously noting 3–5 years or six months to nine years of possible prison time.
