VUTPR Admissions Exam in Ponta Grossa Attracts Over 900 Candidates
The UTFPR entrance exam moved Sunday (23) in the city, gathering 977 candidates at the Ponta Grossa Campus of the Federal Technological University of Paraná for the 2026 Selection Process Proof. The evaluation began at 2 pm, and the first participants began to leave the rooms around 3:30 pm. In all, 153 people did not attend.
The entrance exam was composed of an objective part and an essay. The theme of textual production invited participants to reflect on the lack of housing and the social factors that lead people to the street situation. The required text should be dissertational-argumentative, written in a formal modality of the Portuguese language, following criteria of coherence, cohesion, rationale and presentation of a proposal for intervention that respects human rights.

He stressed that the demand for the Ponta Grossa Campus exceeded expectations and highlighted the positive impact of the approach of the UTFPR with the community. “The objectives are becoming reality, as we will probably be able to fill all the public vacancies offered by the Ponta Grossa Campus,” he said.
The director of Graduation and Professional Education, Murilo Oliveira Leme, also evaluated the process as highly positive. For him, the entrance exam of UTFPR, in Ponta Grossa, fulfills a strategic role that goes beyond the selection of students, consolidating itself as a tool for dialogue with the region. “The UTFPR entrance exam is an important tool not only for selecting students, but also as a process of communication with our regional community and future students,” he said.
Now, the candidates await the disclosure of the result, scheduled for the beginning of 2026. Approved students will enter the first semester of the school year in one of the ten face-to-face courses offered on campus, reinforcing the role of UTFPR as one of the most sought-after institutions within Paraná.
