. Adequacy of the study area of ​​academic qualification (AE)

The following formula is applied to calculate the final grade: NF (MC) = [AE*0.10 + Cf*0.25 + E* 0.20 + EC*0.20 + Ent*0.25].

If the jury chooses to dismiss the candidates from the interview, the following formula will apply to calculate the final grade:

NF (MC) = [AE*0.15 + Cf*0.30 + E* 0.25 + EC*0.30].

Observation: If the candidate(s) with foreign qualifications(s) do not present, during the application phase, the recognition of the degree or foreign diploma and the classification conversion to the Portuguese scale, the jury defines the conversion only for the application purposes based on the rules of the legal regime applicable to the recognition of foreign degrees and diplomas or, when not possible, applies the minimal classification of 10 points.
