UNAM suspends 2026‑27 admission process amid cheating allegations

The Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) announced a provisional suspension of all document‑delivery and registration procedures for first‑year licence admissions for the 2026‑2027 academic cycle. The measure follows allegations of widespread cheating, AI‑driven fraud and identity‑theft during the first fully online entrance exam, which saw roughly 158,700 candidates participate and about 1.3 % of the tests (1,117) blocked or cancelled. A Technical Commission of experts, convened by Rector Leonardo Lomelí Vanegas, will review the exam’s development and issue conclusions and recommendations before the process can resume. UNAM said the suspension aims to “safeguard certainty for all participants” and to ensure compliance with university legislation and academic integrity. The university will publish any decisions through its official channels. In response, aspirants have organized a peaceful march for 27 July demanding a return to in‑person exams and greater transparency. UNAM also announced that it will file criminal complaints against entities that offered fraudulent services to assist candidates during the online test.
