- Nearly 160,000 applicants took UNAM's entrance exam remotely for the first time using a lockdown browser and AI webcam proctoring, resulting in a disaster.
- The exam results showed a dramatic surge in top scores: 16.3% scored 100+ (vs. 3.5% previously) and 5.5% scored 110+ (vs. 0.9% previously), leading to accusations of widespread cheating.
- UNAM appointed an expert commission that recommended an in-person 'control exam' to ensure equity, affecting about 58,000 applicants including those admitted since 2021.
- The university rector apologized to honest applicants but stated the control exam is necessary to guarantee fairness and certainty in the admission process.
