UNCuyo Entrance Results Lay Bare Math Deficit; Admission Cutoff Expected to Edge Higher

The findings will guide vacancy assignments scheduled for Oct. 27 and Nov. 5.

Overview

  • About 40% of applicants scored below 4 in Mathematics, versus 19% in Language, where 1,050 students reached scores between 6 and 8.
  • UNCuyo projects this year’s cutoff average near 5.70–5.72, up from 5.45 in 2024, based on combined Language and Math exam results.
  • Some 2,265 candidates completed the mandatory leveling and sat the exams to compete for roughly 970 available seats across the six secondary schools.
  • Vacancy lists will be published Oct. 27 for the Liceo Agrícola and the School of Agriculture and Nov. 5 for DAD, CUC, Martín Zapata, and Magisterio, with in‑person enrollment Oct. 28–29 and Nov. 6–11 respectively.
  • Now in its second year, the reintroduced exam system with a required leveling path seeks greater equity, and the math shortfall mirrors national Aprender data showing 53.7% of Mendoza’s secondary students below basic in the subject.
