Overview
- Police at UNFV’s Callao venue, during Sunday’s admission exam for 11,561 applicants across nine sites, detained eight suspected members of the group “Los Intelectuales de las Universidades” and seized electronic devices and ID cards.
- Investigators say the network sold “guaranteed” entry for up to US$7,000 by sending answers in real time through hidden earpieces and by using stand‑ins who beat biometric checks through tech tools.
- UNFV published results on its official portal within the usual 24 hours and scheduled a formal claims window for Tuesday, March 31, with set hours at the Office of Admissions.
- Dozens of applicants and parents protested after results went live, alleging errors that marked qualifying scores as not admitted or showed registered candidates as absent.
- Similar cheating attempts were reported at the Universidad Nacional de Piura and at UNSCH in Ayacucho, signaling a broader test‑cheating problem now drawing ongoing police and prosecutorial scrutiny.
