Abstract

The National Policy for the democratization of access to higher education - MEC, instituted by the Unified Selection System - SiSU, brings mechanisms of democratizing vacancies in public higher education. In 2012, the Mato Grosso State University joined the SiSU, in 2013 it started having two main forms of selection (SiSU in the first semester and an entrance exam in the second semester). Research carried out stated that admission to Unemat was already democratized. The question that we raise in this study is: has it continued democratized with the addition of SiSU? The objective of this research was to understand the adherence to SiSU in the university câmpus of Cáceres and its relationship with the process of democratization of IES. This research had a quantitative-qualitative approach. The methodology took place in three steps: documentary analysis; analysis of the database - Enem and the entrance exam data analysis. The research was conducted through socioeconomic questionnaires about the Enem and the entrance exam at Unemat. The results showed several changes in Unemat after the implementation of SiSU as a form of admission. Changes were introduced in the academic profile, institutional policies, administrative management and pedagogical management.
