MEC Extends Enem 2026 Registration to June 12

Extra time to register that could increase participation from public‑school seniors and low‑income beneficiaries under new inclusion rules.

Overview

  • The government announced the one‑week extension on Friday, June 5, moving the registration deadline for Enem 2026 to June 12 and adjusting the exam calendar accordingly.
  • All candidates must sign up on the Página do Participante using a Gov.br account and the fee deadline for non‑exempt applicants was pushed to June 17 with the registration fee set at R$85.
  • Students who finish high school in public schools will be pre‑registered automatically but must log in to confirm their data, choose a test language and request any accessibility or name‑social options.
  • Beneficiaries of the Pé‑de‑Meia program are exempt from the fee and eligible for a conditional R$200 payment if they finish school in 2026 and attend both exam days; the incentive will be paid after completion is confirmed.
  • The 2026 edital expands accessibility — adding coverage for mental‑health conditions and fibromyalgia, allowing a calculator for discalculia and authorizing personal support in reserved rooms — and the Inep plans to increase testing sites to about 10,000 schools to reduce travel for students.
