As a result, the commission was requiring that applicants who passed the exam take a new entrance exam in person.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">Earlier this week, experts who reviewed the results had found almost half of the nearly 160,000 exams could have involved some sort of cheating. Administrators had suspended admissions while they investigated, leaving all prospective students in limbo. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-155wybs-print\">\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">It is hardly the first time A.I. has been suspected in cheating scandals. Students have been caught using A.I.-powered smart glasses to cheat on high-stakes exams in <a class=\"css-bhdv0x-linkClass\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cvgz22w4g9zo\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">England<\/a> and <a class=\"css-bhdv0x-linkClass\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/06\/26\/asia\/ai-glasses-cheating-exams-intl-hnk\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">South Korea<\/a>.

The university has said it moved the exam online to open up coveted spots in UNAM\u2019s next class to more people from around the country. Only about 20,000 spots are offered each year to students other than those who attend UNAM prep high schools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">UNAM\u2019s president, Leonardo Lomel\u00ed, <a class=\"css-bhdv0x-linkClass\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IHaw3tpgU8g\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> earlier this week that the university\u2019s priority was to uncover what had happened and \u201cstand on the side of those who studied, who prepared themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">Mr. Lomel\u00ed apologized on Friday to students who had passed \u201ccleanly\u201d and would have to take a new exam, and he called on students and their families to resist resorting to any kind of fraud moving forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-155wybs-print\">\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">School officials said more than 40,000 students would have to take a new exam: both those who passed this year\u2019s exam and those who would have passed based on average passing scores from years past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">Fernanda Bel\u00e9m, who passed her exam in veterinary medicine \u2014 which she took this year for a second time \u2014 said she was stunned to learn on Friday that she would have to take another exam.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">\u201cThis means recovering what took months in just days,\u201d said Ms. Bel\u00e9m, 20, holding back tears. She had studied using voluminous folders of notes and 200 flashcards, she said, and had been relieved when she learned she would be admitted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">Ra\u00fal Rojas, an A.I. specialist and mathematician originally from Mexico who teaches at the University of Nevada, Reno, and elsewhere, said he had reviewed the results when they were released and found an improvement in scores that was \u201cnot typical.\u201d He estimated that around half the 158,700 test takers \u2014 or about 75,000 \u2014 may have cheated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">\u201cThey may have cheated in some way,\u201d he said in an interview, adding that because of the long period that the exam was open, answers to the questions were leaked, even sold, online. So, he concluded, it was not clear that artificial intelligence had played a central role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-155wybs-print\">\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">The majority of cheaters, he said, probably used an old-fashioned method: \u201cthe cheat sheet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">The university had previously said the online test would be \u201c<a class=\"css-bhdv0x-linkClass\" href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/mexico\/2026-07-28\/mas-de-158000-examenes-en-entredicho-por-el-uso-de-la-ia-la-unam-enfrenta-una-de-sus-mayores-crisis-en-anos.html?event_log=oklogin\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">armored by A.I.<\/a>,\u201d which would detect any possible cheating \u2014 for example, if visible headphones appeared on camera, or a camera or microphone was switched off \u2014 and send a warning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">A small percentage of exam results, the university said on Friday, were annulled based on such detected \u201cirregularities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">The company contracted by UNAM to administer the exam, Territorium Life, did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">The scandal prompted students in Mexico to gather at the university in protest this week. Some <a class=\"css-bhdv0x-linkClass\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wyso.org\/2026-07-28\/mexican-university-faces-massive-cheating-scandal-after-first-online-entry-exam\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> they were being unfairly penalized, with their test results potentially invalidated simply because of their high scores.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">Cheating tips were already circulating widely before the tests went live this spring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aa8b97-Paragraph-baseStyles-paragraphTreatmentStyles-print evys1bk0\">To avoid detection by the web cameras, online accounts advised students to position monitors outside the camera frame where they could access ChatGPT or other A.I. models. Others suggested hiding earphones under their hair, or hiring someone else to take the exam, off camera.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div
