The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) canceled its re-application exams after reports of violence and disruptions, according to official university statements and local media reports. The institution is currently reviewing inconsistencies in the testing process and will establish a new date for affected applicants to complete their admissions requirements.
- Action: Cancellation of re-application exams.
- Cause: Acts of violence and an intrusion during the process.
- Current Status: Review of exam inconsistencies underway.
- Next Step: Announcement of a new testing date for applicants.
Why were the UNAM admission exams canceled?
University officials canceled the re-application process following an “irrupción,” or intrusion, that disrupted the proceedings, according to a statement from the UNAM General Directorate of Admissions. Local media reports, including coverage from La Jornada, indicated that acts of violence halted the admissions process, making it impossible to continue the exams as scheduled.
What caused the disruption during the testing process?
The disruption was linked to a pressure group attempting to block the exams, according to reports from Yahoo. This group specifically targeted cases involving reported irregularities in the testing process. While the university has formally denounced the violence used during the admission cycle, reports from Milenio and López-Dóriga Digital confirm that the institution is now focusing on reviewing those specific inconsistencies to ensure the integrity of the results.
What happens next for affected applicants?
UNAM has confirmed that a new date will be scheduled for the applicants who were unable to complete their exams due to the violence and subsequent cancellation. The university has not yet released the specific calendar for these makeup dates, as the priority remains the internal review of the exam irregularities that sparked the unrest, according to official university communications.
