According to Glaucia Lima, president of the organizing committee of the selection process and pedagogue at IFMS, all candidates will be classified initially by their score on the Selection Exam. The score will determine the final ranking.
“A general classification of candidates will be published, obtained by the exam score, observing the tie-breaking criteria when necessary. The call for enrollment will include the top 20 candidates in the overall ranking, regardless of the chosen quota, and the top candidates from each quota, according to the vacancy table,” explains Lima.

The test will be held on October 20, in the ten municipalities where IFMS has campuses, lasting 4 hours. The Selection Exam consists of a written test with 30 questions in the areas of Portuguese Language (10), Mathematics (10), and General Knowledge (10).
