The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has cancelled Puja Khedkar's selection as a trainee IAS officer and barred her from taking the entrance exam for life. Khedkar was found guilty of violating Civil Services Examination rules by faking her identity to take the exam multiple times. A show cause notice was issued on July 18, 2024, after UPSC discovered she had exceeded the permissible attempt limit. Khedkar's actions were deemed fraudulent, leading to her disqualification and lifetime ban. This decision upholds the integrity of the examination process and ensures fair opportunities for all candidates.
