Mossorรณ, January 27, 2025 – If you’re a student waiting to see if you’ve made it into a public university in Brazil, you might have had a rough start to your week.
The Sisu (Unified Selection System) results for 2025, meant to be out on Sunday, were delayed to Monday, January 27.
Not only that, but when they finally arrived, they came in a surprising new format – an Excel spreadsheet.

What’s the Problem?
Usually, when Sisu results come out, you’d just click on a link, and there it all is: your name, your course, your status.
But this time? You need to download a spreadsheet and hunt for your name among hundreds or thousands. This has left many students scratching their heads, frustrated, and some even quite anxious.
Students Speak Out
On social media, students have been vocal about their frustrations regarding the Sisu 2025 results.
One student pointed out the disrespect of the delay, noting that over 12 hours past the expected release time, the federal government hadn’t issued any statement.
desrespeito demais jรก ter passado 12 horas do horรกrio previsto para a liberaรงรฃo do resultado do sisu e o governo federal nรฃo ter soltado NENHUM comunicado kk
engraรงado que na hora de fechar as inscriรงรตes nรฃo teve atraso nenhum.TรO CAGANDO E ANDANDO PRO ESTUDANTE. pic.twitter.com/FFdo6Ozn0T

Another student described the chaotic presentation of the results in an Excel spreadsheet, where courses were listed haphazardly, rankings were out of order, and there was no clear distinction between quotas and general competition, leaving students confused about their classification in their chosen options.
Lanรงaram o resultado do SISU em uma PLANILHA DE EXCEL onde tem todos os cursos de forma totalmente bagunรงada, fora de ordem, classificaรงรฃo nรฃo tรก em ordem, cotas e ampla concorrรชncia tudo misturado.
Abre a inscriรงรฃo e nรฃo tem classificaรงรฃo (?) em nenhuma das duas opรงรตes.

The Waiting List Woes
One of the bigger issues? The waiting list. Normally, you’d know your rank, helping you decide between your first and second course choices.
But this year, that info’s just not there. “I needed my ranking to know where I would choose to be on the waiting list, but Sisu wasnโt even able to show me that,” another student lamented.
What’s Next for Students?
For those of you who made it into UERN (State University of Rio Grande do Norte), there are 2,509 vacancies up for grabs this year. If you’re among the selected, you’ve got until February 4 to get your paperwork in order and enroll online.
Don’t forget, if there’s any issue with your documents, you’ve got until February 5 to fix it.
We reached out to the Ministry of Education for some clarity on this mess, but so far, no response. We’re keeping the line open for any comments they might have.
Stay Informed
Keep an eye on the Sisu website or your university’s site for any updates or changes to this situation.
We understand how crucial this time is for you, and we’ll keep you posted as we learn more.
If you’re looking to advance your education, consider applying for Prouni scholarships.
