Editor’s note: This scandal isn’t just about cheating — it’s about trust in Mexico’s top university and what happens when AI collides with high‑stakes exams. UNAM’s first fully online entrance test is now under investigation, thousands of scores have been annulled and nearly 60,000 applicants must sit a new in‑person exam. These pieces walk you through how the system broke down, who’s affected and what it means for students, families and the future of digital testing in Mexico. Reading them now gives you a front‑row seat to a crisis that could reshape how universities here — and elsewhere — use technology to decide who gets in.

Enrollment for the fall semester has been suspended after it was found that nearly half of entrance exam takers may have cheated, using AI, leaked tests or other tricks.
Approximately 58,000 among an initial cohort of more than 158,000 test-takers are expected to qualify to sit a second in‑person exam, which will be held between Aug. 12 and 19.
