A dressed woman tried to play on behalf of his girlfriend

A young Bolivian tried to pretend to be his girlfriend at an entrance exam at the university, but they discovered it and both were expelled from the higher education system .

The event took place last February at the University of San Miguel, in Cochabamba, but took place this week. Bryan, 19, put on a wig, a skirt, a shirt and even underwent a makeup session to try to "hide" in front of the authorities.

His goal was to bring his partner into the university, in which he had himself studied systems engineering.

Unfortunately for him and his girlfriend, he sat in the front row and the teachers quickly discovered him by his nervous gestures rather than by his looks. When Bryan was about to receive his examination sheet, an badistant approached him, asked him who he was and when he answered "Jocelin C", the man was there. Discovered: "You are not that person".

"I was on the front seats and an badistant saw me," Bryan revealed to the police. "I was about to get the test sheets, but one badistant said:" You are not that person "and I was very nervous. so I confessed. "

When asked why he had tried to deceive the university, the 19-year-old first stated that he had been contacted by a member of the candidate's family and that he had not been able to do so. he had offered her money (700 bolivianos, about $ 100) for the examination on her behalf, as she was absent.

After accepting, the contact sent him his college application card and even booked a make-up session to make his costume more credible.

"I did not want to do anything wrong, I just did not work and that's why I agreed," Bryan said. "I have never done it before, I like to study and I want to specialize in Japan, I do not want any problems!"

However, he later changed his statement by saying that he had done it "out of love" to help his girlfriend.

The police can not take any action against the imposter, because the impersonation of a candidate at the university for the examination of entry n & # 39; Is not a crime. Things would have been different had he come to sign the examination sheet, since it was a fake.

Juan Ríos, rector of the Mayor's University of San Miguel, said that there was no specific rule punishing students who imitated candidates. However, he later reported in an interview that Bryan and Jocelin would be expelled from the Bolivian public university system, which means that they can not apply to a public university in the country.
