Territorium Requests Meeting with UNAM, Citing Need for Academic and Technological Exam Integrity

Territorium, the company responsible for administering the online admission examination for the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) during the 2026-2027 selection process, has formally requested an audience with the university.

In a letter signed by its founders, Carlos Guillermo Elizondo Ancer and Gerardo de Jesús Sáenz González, the company expressed its desire to participate in the Review Committee. They stressed that ensuring the integrity of high-stakes examinations extends beyond technological infrastructure alone.

“

the integrity of a high-demand evaluation does not depend exclusively on technological infrastructure. It requires the coordination of two inseparable components: technological security and academic security.

Territorium's founders articulated that true exam integrity requires the inseparable coordination of two key components: technological security and academic security. Technological security encompasses safeguarding participant identities, ensuring platform availability, overseeing the examination process, maintaining activity logs, and detecting atypical behaviors.

Academic security, they explained, focuses on protecting the exam's content. This involves practices such as constructing equivalent versions of the exam, randomizing the order of questions, and controlling the exposure of specific questions across different groups, schedules, and sessions. The company's request for a meeting underscores its commitment to addressing concerns and reinforcing the security measures for UNAM's admission process.

Technological security protects the identity of participants, platform availability, application supervision, activity logs, and detection of atypical behaviors. Academic security, for its part, protects the exam content through practices such as building equivalent versions, distributing and randomizing items, varying their order, and controlling their exposure among different groups, schedules, and sessions.
