Overview
- The UNAM released the results late Friday for the Examen de Control that it applied after finding anomalies in its first fully online admissions test.
- The university confirmed it will receive 49,074 new undergraduates for 2026–2027/1, of whom 28,151 enter by Pase Reglamentado and 20,923 by the contest of selection.
- The control test was held between August 12 and 19 in León, Oaxaca, Tijuana and Mexico City using 120-question exams on offline tablets under in-person surveillance and around 36,000 of roughly 58,000 convoked applicants attended.
- Published results show widespread drops in minimum cut scores compared with the annulled online test, with many programs falling by tens of correct answers and no school-based program exceeding 100 correct responses.
- The Mexico City prosecutor has linked two men to the alleged fraud scheme and the investigation continues, and the IPN has changed its September exam to a hybrid model for the capital region as a precautionary response to the UNAM episode.
