The registration period for Sisu will be from June 19th to 22nd and the result will be announced on the 27th of this month. Sisu is the MEC program that brings together vacancies offered by public institutions of higher education throughout Brazil, most of which are offered by federal institutions – universities and institutes.

Vacancies are opened every six months through a computerized system that performs the selection of students based on the Enem score, according to the choices of registered candidates. For this, the candidate cannot have scored zero in the essay.

The student chooses up to two course options among those offered in each Sisu selection process. It is possible to change course options throughout the enrollment period, and the valid enrollment will be the last one registered in the system. Those who are not selected in either of the two course options can still compete for one of the vacancies through Sisu’s waiting list. For this, you must express interest in joining the list.

The vacancies offered are also distributed according to the Quota Law (Law nº 12.711/2012) which determines that the federal institutions of higher education linked to the MEC will reserve, in each selective contest for admission to undergraduate courses, per course and shift, at least 50% of its vacancies for students who have completed high school in public schools, half of which are reserved for those from families with an income equal to or less than 1.5 minimum wages per capita (income per head).

Institutions can adopt their own policies and actions, such as reserved vacancies and application of bonuses on the grade of the candidate who meets the profile indicated by the institution. According to the institution’s specifications, Sisu automatically calculates and generates a new note.
