Sisu is a selection system that distributes places in federal institutes and some state universities. This is the main way of entering several public universities in Brazil.

How does Sisu work?

Using a candidate's Enem score, Sisu selects who will occupy a place at a public university. The students with the highest scores are chosen.

To participate, the student accesses the program's website and chooses two course options. If you realize that your grade will not be enough to receive approval in one of the options, you can change courses until the end date of this process.
