The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) held its first day of the in-person control exam in León, Guanajuato. The test is crucial for determining students' admission into the undergraduate program.

A total of 736 candidates were summoned for this exam, although 235 did not show up, as reported by UNAM. The university stated that the exam is 'impossible to hack' and was conducted without internet access, in the presence of a notary.

Tomorrow, UNAM will commence the exam in Oaxaca, continuing the student selection process in other regions of the country.
