Brasília, The Brazilian federal government has officially opened registrations for the Concurso Nacional Unificado (CNU) 2025, offering 3,662 job vacancies across 32 federal agencies. Known as the “ENEM of public service exams,” the CNU aims to centralize and simplify the recruitment process for public sector jobs.
The registration process began today and will remain open until July 20, 2025, through the official government portal gov.br. Candidates from all over the country can apply for roles in public administration, infrastructure, education, health, environment, and technology.
The CNU 2025 will feature positions at both mid-level and higher education levels, with salaries reaching up to R$17,000 per month, depending on the post and agency. Some of the most sought-after roles are offered in ministries such as the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, IBGE, and INSS.
To register, applicants must have a valid account on the gov.br platform. The registration fee is R$60 for mid-level positions and R$90 for higher-level roles. Fee exemptions are available for eligible candidates, including those registered in CadÚnico and recipients of programs such as ProUni and FIES.
The exam will be held in two phases, scheduled for October 5 and December 7, across more than 200 cities in Brazil. The tests will include objective and essay sections, along with other evaluation steps like qualification checks and oral exams for certain posts.
The final results are expected to be released in early 2026, and candidates who qualify will be contacted by the respective agencies for appointment.
This is the second edition of the CNU after the first nationwide rollout in 2024. Officials say the unified exam format improves accessibility and transparency, especially for candidates from rural areas and underrepresented regions.
