According to the announcement, 80% of the places are reserved for medalists from OBMEP (Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad for Public Schools) – level 3 / national award; OBM (Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad) – level 3; OBFEP (Brazilian Physics Olympiad for Public Schools) – levels B and/or C National; Brazilian Chemistry Olympiad (OBQ) – categories A and/or B; and Brazilian Informatics Olympiad (OBI) – programming category / levels 1 and/or 2, only for high school students. The remaining 20% are reserved for students from the ENEM exam. The candidate must choose which category they will register for. Conducted in two stages, the selection process will also include group activities and individual (online) interviews. As detailed in the announcement, the undergraduate program will have places for general competition and will also reserve a number of places for candidates distributed in different quota groups. IMPA Tech aims to train students to effectively enter the technology and innovation market, working in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, information security, etc. Another advantage of the undergraduate program is its strategic location. Porto Maravalley is home to IMPA Tech, startups, and technology companies, creating an environment of innovation and collaboration between academia and the job market.
