News
Until the previous Vestibular¹, the candidates indicated, at the time of enrollment, the order of priority for the engineering specialties offered. One of the innovations of Vestibular 2023 is that, as of this year, the specialty choice process will be coordinated by the Undergraduate Dean’s Office and will take place in the fourth semester of the Fundamental Course, when the student will compete for enrollment in the desired specialty.
The students will be enrolled in the specialties following their general classification in the class, which will consider: the average grade obtained in the first three periods of the Fundamental Course (80%); the grade obtained in the Selective Process (10%); and the grade obtained in the Military Training Program of the Air Force Reserve Officers Preparation Center (CPOR-Aer-SJ) (10%).
The other novelty is that the number of questions and their distribution in the first phase of the ITA selection process 2023 has changed. The total number of questions is now 60 and they will be equally distributed among Math, Physics, Chemistry, Portuguese and English, i.e. 12 questions for each subject.
Courses
Engineering Undergraduate courses at ITA last five years, of which the first two are the Fundamental Course, common to all students, and the last three correspond to the Professional Courses, specific to each Engineering specialty. The specialties offered are Aeronautics, Electronics, Mechanics-Aeronautics, Civil-Aeronautics, Computing, and Aerospace.

According to ITA’s Vestibular Section Chief, Colonel João Batista do Porto Neves Júnior, the candidate must pay attention to the event schedules and check, in advance, the accesses to the exam sites. “We recommend that candidates arrive at least one hour before the exam,” he adds.
Colonel Porto also explains that the candidates will have to make some choices when registering, such as whether they are opting for a military career or not; the city in which they want to take the test; and, also, if they intend to compete for the racial quota.
