Selection process
Contest Evaluation Method(s): Curricular evaluation weighted to 100% on a scale of 20 points with a minimum of 12 points needed for admission. The minimum final grade needed for admission is 12 points.
Conditions for the Contest Evaluation
Selection Method: Curriculum Assessment (100%).
Evaluation Criteria: C1: Academic record (30%); C2: Relevance of academic background (20%); C3: Technical skills and relevant practical experience (40%); C4: Motivation and extracurricular activities (10%).
The final classification will be expressed on a scale from 0 to 20. Candidates may be interviewed to clarify any aspect related to the evaluation criteria listed above. Each criterion, as well as the final score (F), will be assessed on a 0–20 scale. Candidates will be ranked according to the following formula: F = C1 × 30% + C2 × 20% + C3 × 40% + C4 × 10%. In the event of a tie, candidates will be ranked according to their scores in C1, followed by C2, and so on. The Selection Committee reserves the right not to select any of the applicants if it considers that none of the candidates meets the minimum requirements for the position.
