The nationwide strike of carriers has also affected those seeking to take their entry test to the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, rescheduled for today, April 2. Faced with the impossibility of several applicants to arrive in Lima to be evaluated, Rector Jeri Ramón announced that those affected will be able to take the aforementioned test in September of this year, which is part of the 2023-I admission process.
“They will have to wait for the admission exam in September, which is the first in 2023. They're not going to lose the payment. It is a commitment that exists with applicants who cannot take the exam due to force majeure,” said the university authority. The announcement of respect for payment by probation is one of the measures that has most calmed the applicants harmed by unemployment in various regions of the country. This is the second rescheduling of your evaluation after the confirmation of the leak of the previous test. The rector also confirmed that the refund of the money made for the right of examination is also an option for those who could not attend on the day of the test.
The Latina chambers were able to see how difficult it has been for several applicants to get to the capital to take the exam that would ensure a place among the student staff. Among these is a young man from Puno who had to travel almost a day and a half in order to get to the university city and give his test. “I apply for Electronic Engineering. I come from Puno and because of the stoppage of carriers I have traveled about 28 hours”, declared the applicant.
REINFORCED MEASURES
On the morning of April 2, more than 16,000 applicants arrived at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos to take the admission test for the second time, this after it revealed that a group of applicants leaked the evaluation and received external help to get the score that would ensure their entry into the prestigious house of studies.
On this occasion, it is about candidates for the degree in Human Medicine and Engineering who have taken the test again. In view of the above-mentioned case, the university has taken preventive measures in addition to those already established to prevent the incident from recurring. “We are with the Specialized High Technology Police and other preventive measures that have been taken both at the entrance and in the classroom,” said Rector Ramón.
Another measure implemented has been the delivery of a pencil and an eraser by the same university in order not to enter adulterated implements that would be used to take advantage of the rest of the applicants. In addition, jewelry or earrings have not been allowed for the same reason mentioned above.
It should be remembered that the previous test was canceled after a post by a user identified as Josue Vásquez showed images of a chat where there were some of the questions that were part of the entrance test. However, the fact that attracted the most attention was the identical score of several applicants. Greycy Lyliana Quintos Vilchez and Jwen Lizeth Quintos Vilchez, two supposed sisters who applied for the Human Medicine degree, had exactly the same score.
However, this would not be the only case of an identical score. Gean Manuel Antonio Ruiz Ccasa, Evelyn Shirley, Sucasaire Sucasaire and Edu Ferdinan Baca Garcia scored three 19155,000 points, thus achieving the top positions. In the case of the latter, the aforementioned publication reported that in the previous exam, the applicant barely scored 800 points. “What mafia is behind this? What mafia makes them let cell phones into the exam?” , he wondered who published the alleged evidence of fraud.
