The Concurso Nacional Unificado (CNU) has reached several important milestones as candidates seek to secure their positions within this extensive selection process. Beginning on December 20, 2024, candidates who requested revisions on their essay scores can now check the outcomes on the Cesgranrio website. This step is significant, as it allows for potential changes to scores, which may increase, remain the same, or decrease.
Looking forward, December 23, 2024, marks the next key date when candidates vying for positions reserved for Black applicants will be called for verification procedures. Candidates will find this information available under the "Results and Invitations" section of the Cesgranrio site.
The CNU, often referred to as the 'Enem dos Concursos,' has been organized to consolidate various public sector job competitions, offering over 6,600 vacancies. The Minister of Management and Innovation has outlined the upcoming dates, signaling transparency and fairness throughout this rigorous selection process.
From January 6 to 10, 2025, medical evaluations will take place for candidates who declared disabilities during their registration. These assessments will focus on the documentation provided by candidates, including medical certificates or reports confirming the type and degree of impairment. Preliminary results of these evaluations are expected to be published on January 17, which will also allow for appeals.
On January 11 and 12, 2025, candidates who declared themselves as Black or Indigenous will undergo verification procedures to confirm their eligibility for reserved positions. This procedure involves biometric data collection and handwriting analysis, ensuring the integrity of the declarations made during application. Candidates must comply, as refusal or failure to appear will result in elimination from the CNU.
It’s worth noting, according to recent updates, the Ministry of Public Federal Affairs (MPF) is taking action to annul four problematic questions from the written exam taken on January 10, 2024. A civil lawsuit asserted these questions, identified as numbers 33, 35, 37, and 39, were flawed. An expert's report indicated 33 lacks any correct options, and 35, 37, and 39 have multiple answers deemed correct, raising concerns over examination fairness across the board.
These complications led the MPF to request the annulment of the issues and suspend all upcoming CNU stages until resolved. They have also pressed for all candidates to receive scores for the flawed questions as part of their overall ratings, which would necessitate adjustments to the candidate list for subsequent selection stages.
Currently, candidates taking part will have to keep watch for their upcoming notifications and adhere to the timelines set by the authorities. The process, intended to be equitable, has seen necessary adjustments due to judicial intervention, reflecting the importance of transparent and accurate assessments within public sector job recruitment.
On February 11, 2025, results for all score revisions will be made official, leading to the final legs of this rigorous selection process as successful candidates are called for official assignments.
Overall, the CNU process aims to provide equal opportunity and fair access for diverse participants, with protocols established to monitor and confirm the eligibility of candidates competing for reserved vacancies. This structured approach underlines the commitment to fairness and equality within public sector hiring, ensuring candidates from marginalized backgrounds are properly assessed and treated throughout the entire process.
