The Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services reported this Monday (19) that candidates for the Unified National Public Exam (CNU) who did not fill out all the identification on the answer sheet will be eliminated. Around 1 million people took part in the contest last Sunday (18). 
“Regarding people who did not fill out all the identification on the answer card, the Ministry of Management informs that, after consulting the applying board and legal consultation, it has decided that, in compliance with the notice, the candidates will be eliminated,” said the MGI, in a note.
Since the competition had several types of tests, it was necessary to identify the test on the answer sheet, where the answer key was marked. The CNU notice states that candidates must mark the type of test that appears on the cover of their test on their respective answer sheets, under penalty of elimination. The information was also written on the first page of all the tests in the competition.

Based on the location of the questions, Cesgranrio could identify them. So, this effort will be made,” said the minister. On social media, the statement was controversial and candidates reported that they did not include the identification phrase or number on the answer card, and others feared that the contest would be canceled due to non-compliance with the notice.
According to the MGI, around 500 candidates (0.05% of the total) were eliminated this Sunday for having displayed behaviors prohibited by the notice, including leaving the exam room. taking the question bookletwhich was prohibited.
