The results for the CNU 2025 objective exams are finally here! Dubbed the "Enem of Public Exams," this unified national competition offers 3,652 federal job openings across 32 agencies. Today, candidates can access their scores, answer keys, and ranking lists—marking the start of the next phase: the essay-based tests on December 7. Here’s everything you need to know, from login steps to quota verification rules, plus key dates and insider tips.
How to Check Your CNU 2025 Results
As of 4 PM today (November 12, 2025), candidates can log in to the FGV platform using their gov.br account to view their scores. The delay from the original 10 AM release time was intentional—officials wanted to avoid server crashes (we’ve all been there, right?). Follow these steps:
- Go to inscricao-cpnu.conhecimento.fgv.br
- Log in with your gov.br credentials
- Click "Minhas Inscrições"
- Select the CNU 2 card and hit "Ver Resultado"
You’ll see your raw score, answer sheet, and thematic breakdowns. Pro tip: Screenshot everything—government portals have a habit of "glitching" during high traffic.
Grading System and Score Breakdown
The CNU uses a weighted system across nine knowledge blocks. Blocks 1–7 weigh specialized topics (e.g., healthcare, infrastructure), while Blocks 8–9 cover fundamentals like Portuguese, Math, and Brazilian Law. Your performance report will show:
- Raw correct answers per section
- Weighted scores by thematic axis
- Minimum cutoff marks for each bloc
Fun fact: The transparency push here mirrors Brazil’s 2024 public sector reforms—fewer backroom deals, more standardized metrics.
Next Steps: Essays and Deadlines
Clear the objective phase? Brace for the December 7 essay tests:
| Education Level | Test Format | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Higher Education | 2 essay questions | 3 hours (1–4 PM) |
| Secondary Education | 1 argumentative essay | 2 hours (1–3 PM) |
Mark these dates:
- Nov 13–19: Submit bonus-eligible titles (e.g., master’s degrees)
- Dec 1: Exam location tickets released
- Dec 8–17: Quota verification (prepare for biometric checks!)
Quota System: New Anti-Fraud Measures
This year’s quota verification sounds like a spy thriller—video recordings, handwriting analysis, and in-person phenotype checks. Breakdown:
- 25% for Black candidates
- 3% Indigenous
- 2% Quilombola communities
- 5% Persons with disabilities (PwD)
Fail verification? You’ll default to the general competition—assuming your score holds up.
Why the CNU Matters
With 761,528 applicants (42.8% no-shows), this exam consolidates what used to be dozens of separate federal hiring processes. The BTCC analysis team notes it’s part of a global trend—similar unified systems exist in India’s UPSC and France’s. Cost-saving? Absolutely. Less stressful for candidates? Debatable.
