The technical courses, of high school and vocational training lasting up to two years, have a registration fee between R$15 and R$25, varying based on the modality, while for undergraduate and graduate courses, the fee is R$50. It is worth noting that registration does not imply tuition, as IF Sudeste MG is a public institution. The payment deadline is until November 18, only at corresponding agencies and branches of the Banco do Brasil.
Exemption from the Registration Fee: See Who Is Eligible
Students from public schools can request a registration fee waiver between October 24 and 31. The benefit is granted to candidates who have completed elementary or high school entirely in public education, or who have been granted scholarships in private schools. Candidates who completed high school through Encceja are also eligible. The request is made on the official selection process website and requires the submission of the academic record for verification.
Competition Groups and Selection Stages of the Federal Institute
The 2025 selection process of the Federal Institute of the Southeast MG follows the new Quota Law (Law 14.273/2023), which reserves 50% of the spots for students who have studied in public schools, with income criteria, ethnic-racial self-declaration, and disability. The selection method varies by course: for concomitant or subsequent technical courses, the class definition occurs through a public draw on January 16, 2025. Those opting for integrated technical courses will have an objective test on December 22, covering questions in Portuguese language, mathematics, natural sciences, geography, and history. Candidates for undergraduate courses will take an objective test and an essay on the same date.
