Overview
- The university's Technical Commission is scheduled to announce its diagnosis and decision at 10:00 a.m. on Friday about the undergraduate admission exam.
- Rector Leonardo Lomelí Vanegas created the commission after university officials detected irregularities in the online admissions process and questioned the integrity of the results.
- UNAM and reporters flagged atypical score patterns and a sharp rise in correct answers that prompted concerns about possible use of artificial intelligence or other tools during the virtual test.
- The exam was run under contract by Territorium Life and, compared with the last in-person test, reduced spending by 8,528,032 pesos and cut staff deployment from 3,732 workers to 74 while using a single venue.
- Registrations for admitted applicants are paused and the August 10 start of the academic year could be affected, leaving thousands of hopeful students waiting for the commission's ruling and any follow-up audits or remedies.
