An impersonator attempting to write the PSC examination for last grade recruitment at the University of Kerala's Poojappura center in Thiruvananthapuram fled the scene upon realizing detection by the biometric system. This incident sparks concern among aspiring candidates, as any irregularity in competitive exams dashes hopes for government jobs in unemployment-hit Kerala.

The impersonator, presumed to be standing in for Amaljith from Srihari Sadanam, Nemam Melamkode, escaped by leaping over the wall when confronted with biometric verification, a system introduced by PSC to curb such malpractices. This foiled attempt underscores the prevalence of impersonation and question paper theft in state exams, often orchestrated by organized rackets.

Despite the vigilance officers' efforts, the impersonator managed to evade capture exploiting an old photograph on the hall ticket to evade suspicion. This incident underscores the necessity for stricter measures and technological advancements to ensure the integrity of examination processes.

The thwarted impersonation comes on the heels of the Lok Sabha's passage of the Public Examination Bill, aiming to impose stringent penalties for malpractices in national and entrance exams. This highlights the pressing need for similar legislation at the state level to uphold honesty and transparency, safeguarding the aspirations of countless candidates.
