Brazil’s Unified National Public Contest has seen an unprecedented registration of over 100,000 applicants.
This surge in applications, announced by the Ministry of Management and Public Innovation, temporarily overwhelmed the exclusive registration platform, but the issue was swiftly resolved.
This ambitious contest aims to fill 6,640 positions in 21 federal public agencies. Registration opened on January 19 and will close on February 9.
The Ministry plans to release detailed data on the initial day of registrations by January 20.
Set for May 5, the exam will be conducted in 220 cities across all Brazilian states and the Federal District.
The exam fees are set at R$ 60 for mid-level and R$ 90 for higher-level positions.
Candidates from the
- Unified Registry for Social Programs (CadÚnico),
- Higher Education Student Financing Fund (Fies),
- University for All Program (ProUni)
beneficiaries, and bone marrow donors are eligible for fee exemptions.
Upon registering, candidates will receive a Union Collection Guide (GRU), the exclusive payment method for the contest.
The Ministry advises candidates to carefully read the notices, emphasizing the value of enhancing their professional and academic paths.
The contest encompasses eight thematic blocks:
