Brazil: The college entrance examination has the final say. The current framework of higher education in Brazil was established in 1968. Colleges and universities are divided into four categories: federal, state, municipal and private. The first three categories are public schools. From 65438 to 0996, 34 of Brazil's 87 universities were private universities. Of the 6.5438+6 million college students, about 700,000 are studying in public schools, accounting for about 40% of the total number of students.

Brazilian institutions of higher learning formulate enrollment plans and admission standards according to their own schools, and the specific examination time and subjects are decided by the participating universities. Most public schools hold entrance exams twice a year, while a few public universities and all private schools hold exams once a year. Students who apply for colleges and universities must have diplomas in basic education and secondary education.

In the specific content of the exam, each university and each major has different emphases. Because the federal and state public universities implement free education, it attracts many candidates, and the enrollment ratio is about 7 to 1. Brazilian universities generally adopt the day-to-day study system, and the effective study time is 180 days per year. .
