The registration deadline for the 'Tu Segunda Opción' process is set for Friday, September 4, at 12:00 hours. [^4]

The university has made 2,240 spots available across 66 undergraduate programs for students who did not qualify in the first round. [^5]

The 'Tu Segunda Opción' seats are strictly reserved for the 16,543 candidates who took the extraordinary in-person admission exam but did not receive a place in their first-choice program. [^6]

UNAM reported that its first virtual entrance exam had atypical results and unauthorized use of artificial intelligence and external aid, leading it to organize an extraordinary in-person test and to revoke the contract of the platform provider, Territorium. [^7]

UNAM terminated its contract with Territorium Life, the firm that supplied the virtual exam platform, and ordered three deep audits of the admissions process. [^8]
