Results Are In
The general classification for the Vestibulinho das Escolas Técnicas Estaduais (Etecs) for the first semester of 2026 was officially released on Thursday, January 15. The announcement marks a critical milestone for thousands of candidates seeking admission to technical and high school education courses across the state.
Aspirants can verify their status through the official digital portal or by visiting the specific Etec or Extension unit where they intend to study. It is important to note that the verification of lists is the sole responsibility of the candidate, as units do not provide information via telephone. The published list includes the classification of all approved candidates, while those registered as trainees will have a specific list without a call for enrollment.
In-Person & Hybrid Enrollment
The first call for enrollment begins on Friday, January 16, specifically for in-person and hybrid courses in high school and technical education. Selected candidates will receive an email and SMS containing specific instructions for document submission.
The enrollment process is scheduled for January 19 and 20. Following the submission, the result of the document analysis will be communicated via email on January 22, by 12:00 PM. If corrections are necessary, the deadline for an appeal is the same day.
For candidates who utilized the bonus scoring system, there is a strict requirement to prove full-time schooling in a public school. Failure to present this proof will result in the cancellation of the enrollment and the loss of the spot.
Key deadlines and requirements:
- Convocation: Sent via email and SMS starting January 16.
- Enrollment dates: January 19 and 20.
- Analysis result: January 22 by 12:00 PM.
- Appeal deadline: January 22.
Virtual Courses & Documentation
For online courses in Technical Education and Specialization, the convocation will be sent exclusively by email on January 19. Virtual enrollment will occur on January 19 and 20, following the instructions sent to the candidate. The analysis result for online applicants will be released on January 26, by 12:00 PM, with the correction period also falling on that day.
Enrollment is finalized by the Etec upon the presentation of required documentation. For online modalities, the entire procedure is handled through a virtual system. Candidates must prepare the following mandatory documents:
- Valid identity document (RG).
- CPF (if not included in the RG).
- Recent 3x4 photo.
- School history, depending on the course modality.
It is crucial that candidates do not miss the enrollment window. Failure to enroll within the established period results in the loss of the right to the spot, which will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.
Regulations & Reminders
Strict rules govern the admission process to ensure fairness and administrative order. If there are remaining vacancies, a second call for in-person courses will be published on January 23, after 2:00 PM.
Furthermore, enrollment may be canceled if a student fails to attend classes during the first five business days without providing a justification. All candidates are urged to consult the Manual do Candidato (Candidate's Manual) available on the official website for comprehensive rules and guidelines.
"The verification of lists is the responsibility of the candidate, and units do not provide information by telephone."
Adhering to these regulations is essential for maintaining the validity of the admission throughout the semester.
