The Unified Selection System (Sisu) will have only one edition per year from 2024 onwards. The program selects students for places at public universities across the country based on their score in the National High School Exam (Enem).
According to the Ministry of Education (MEC), next year’s Sisu notice will be published this week, which should provide more details about the change.
Created in 2009 and implemented in 2010, Sisu is traditionally held twice a year, selecting students for higher education places in both the first and second semesters of each year. From next year, however, only one selection process should be carried out per year.
Sisu is a system that brings together on the same platform vacancies offered by public higher education institutions, whether federal, state or municipal. To participate, students must have taken the latest edition of the Enem and cannot have received a zero in the writing test.
When registering, candidates can choose up to two course options in which they wish to apply for places. Once a day, during the registration period, the cut-off score for each course is published, based on the grades of candidates enrolled up to that point. Candidates can change their course option until the last day of registration.
The edition at the beginning of the year has the greatest participation of institutions and also the one with the largest number of vacancies.
In the first edition of 2023, 226,399 places were offered in 6,402 undergraduate courses in 128 federal, state or municipal educational institutions, 63 of which were federal universities.
The second edition of 2023 made 51,277 places available in 1,666 undergraduate courses, from 65 higher education institutions.
