Regarding the variation in the total number of subscribers, from 76 to 72 thousand, the director of Comvest considered the rate of 4% to be within normal limits. “The variation is within a seasonality, in addition, we have the persistence of the economic crisis, which leaves families apprehensive and which may have contributed to the fall”, stated José Alves.
However, the director highlighted that “even in a context of crisis and continuous attacks on public universities, Unicamp exceeded 72 thousand applicants, which highlights the strength of the University and the importance of maintaining its own entrance exam, considering that autonomy university preserves specific achievements and dynamics of public universities in São Paulo”, concluded José Alves.
