Overview
- Roughly 55,000 candidates sat the 20 November nationwide session across 44 universities under the reformed in‑university selection system.
- The university ministry will share leaked photos and videos with atenei via the rectors’ conference to identify individuals, and the exams of those responsible may be annulled, with some papers already withdrawn.
- Minister Anna Maria Bernini and the CRUI say the process remains valid and rule out a blanket annulment, describing reported irregularities as limited.
- Student union UDU is assembling a collective appeal seeking oversubscription for all candidates, Codacons is evaluating a filing to the administrative court, and opposition parties have asked the minister to report to parliament.
- Results for the first session are due 3 December with a second sitting on 10 December, while about 24,000 places nationwide (around 19,000 in public universities) keep admissions highly competitive.
