Analysis of Academic Performance and Dropout

In view of the important role of education for society, this study aimed to analyze and compare the dropout rate and average academic performance in the first year of students who entered through the Traditional Selection Process and SiSU, from 2010 to 2015, in the undergraduate courses at IF Sudeste MG - Campus Rio Pomba. Frequency, mean and T-test for independent samples were used. With regard to the forms of admission, SiSU and the Traditional Selection Process, it can be said that in 2010 and 2011, the Traditional Selection Process predominated in all undergraduate courses at the Rio Pomba Campus. Between 2012 and 2015, however, it cannot be said that there was a predominance of a single form of entry. With regard to drop-outs, it was found that the second semesters of the undergraduate courses were the ones that most often had the highest percentages of drop-outs in both forms of admission. With regard to academic performance, it can be said that there was no significant difference between the average of students who entered via SiSU or the Traditional Selection Process.
