Enade Bacharelados e Cursos Superiores de Tecnologia

  • The Enade general formation component (Formação Geral) is common to all areas and typically weighs 25% of the final grade; the specific component weighs 75%.

  • The exam is composed of objective multiple-choice items and discursive (open-ended) items; the discursive items are scored on a 0-5 scale by trained evaluators using a rubric with criteria such as content, articulation, and clarity.

  • The student's Enade score is calculated as a weighted average of the general formation and specific component scores, each normalized on a 0-100 scale.

  • The Enade concept (conceito Enade) is assigned to courses in five levels (1 to 5) based on the average performance of graduating students, with 1 being the lowest and 5 the highest.

  • The Enade is applied annually to graduating students (concluding students) and, in some years, to first-year students (ingressantes) for diagnostic purposes; the schedule is defined by INEP.

  • The exam content is based on the National Curriculum Guidelines (DCNs) for each area and on the pedagogical project of the course, covering general formation (current affairs, ethics, social responsibility) and specific formation.

  • The Enade is a mandatory component for students to obtain their diploma; failure to take the exam without justification can result in withholding of the diploma until regularized.

  • The Enade results feed the Preliminary Course Concept (CPC) and the Course Concept (CC), which together with the Institutional Concept (CI) compose the quality indicators of higher education in Brazil.

  • For technology courses (Cursos Superiores de Tecnologia), the specific component emphasizes applied knowledge and professional practice, aligned with the technological profile of the course, while the general formation follows the same common base.
