Hyderabad: A Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) candidate in Kasaragod had an unexpectedly wild start to his exam day when an eagle swooped in and snatched his hall ticket just minutes before the test was to begin. The dramatic incident unfolded on Thursday morning (April 10) at the Government UP School in Kasaragod, leaving over 300 candidates and officials stunned.

According to a report by The Hindu, the candidate had reached the venue early to revise and had placed his hall ticket beside him when the eagle suddenly descended. With astonishing precision, the bird picked up the paper in its beak and flew to a window perch above the parish hall, far from anyone’s reach. The bizarre moment was witnessed by a crowd of fellow examinees, many of whom tried to offer help.
Despite urgent suggestions to throw stones or use sticks to retrieve the ticket, the candidate hesitated, afraid the eagle might vanish with the crucial document. With the final bell inching closer, tension mounted in the exam hall premises.
A Last-Minute Miracle
Just when it seemed the candidate might be barred from appearing for the exam, the eagle unexpectedly dropped the hall ticket, allowing him to retrieve it and enter the hall moments before the deadline. Officials later confirmed that no candidate is permitted to take the exam without the hall ticket, irrespective of the situation.
The candidate, whose identity remains undisclosed, declined to speak to the press, but a video of the incident has gone viral on social media, drawing reactions ranging from disbelief to amusement.
