The Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) has enabled online consultations for the locations and schedules of its 2026 undergraduate entrance exams [1].
This step is critical for thousands of students seeking admission for the 2026-2027 school cycle. The entrance exam serves as the primary requirement for candidates to secure a spot in the university's competitive degree programs.
The Dirección General de Administración Escolar managed the release of the data [1]. According to university data, a total of 58,783 applicants are registered to take the control exam [1].
Testing sites have been established across multiple regions to accommodate the volume of candidates. These include locations in León, Guanajuato, and Oaxaca [1]. In Oaxaca specifically, 1,920 applicants are expected to present their exams [2].
Applicants must access the official portal to confirm their specific time slots and assigned venues. The university utilizes these distributed sites to manage the logistics of the selection process, a massive undertaking given the number of participants.
The administration of the exam remains the final hurdle for the current admission cycle. Students are advised to verify their information early to avoid scheduling conflicts on the day of the test.
“A total of 58,783 applicants are registered to take the control exam.”
The scale of the UNAM entrance process reflects the intense competition for higher education in Mexico. By distributing exams across cities like León and Oaxaca, the university attempts to decentralize access, though the high ratio of applicants to available seats continues to make the 'examen de control' a high-stakes bottleneck for thousands of students.
