The Higher Education Census 2014, published in December 2015, registered a total of 114,000 vacant vacancies by federal educational institutions.
Therefore, although vacancies have been released by the Ministry of Education, MEC, they are not being occupied by any student. And this is surprising, because in Brazil competition and desire for a place in a federal university are always impactful for Brazilian students.

Part of this increase is directly associated with the greater number of vacancies on offer in the Federal Higher Education Network, which rose 3.7% and makes a total of 1,180,068 seats.
In 2014, more than 3 million students enrolled in undergraduate courses, and 82.3% of these students enrolled in private educational institutions. On the other hand, the public network took the lead in the number of enrollments associated with postgraduate studies.
