Enem 2026: after gates are closed, man jumps university wall to take a test and is expelled in MS

A man who identified himself as Antônio Pereira jumped over the access railing to the parking lot of the Dom Bosco Catholic University (UCDB), in Campo Grande, after arriving at the location two minutes after the gates of the National High School Exam (Enem) 2026 closed, this Sunday (8). He was caught by security and removed from the scene.

The gates were closed exactly at noon (1 pm Brasília time). About two minutes later, the man came running and asked the people at the entrance if it was still possible to enter. Upon receiving information that the gates were already closed, he returned to the street where he had arrived.

He then went around the campus and jumped over the fence that gives access to the university parking lot. The man ran through the place, but was caught by security guards and stopped. Afterwards, the security team removed him from the test area.

On the way out, he covered his face and spoke briefly to the reporter. Antônio Pereira stated that he intended to take the test and complained about the closing time of the gates. “It’s unfair, it’s unfair, they closed before noon,” he said.

He stated that he spent a year preparing and argued that there should be a few minutes of grace for candidates to enter. The man attributed the delay to traffic and complained about the circulation of vehicles on the avenue near the university, which, according to him, is one-way.

"So, there's a five-minute margin there. Then we're killing ourselves to get there, right? This traffic is unacceptable, but that will never change."

When asked if he would try to take the Enem again next year, he replied no. He said he intended to use a private institution and stated that he had no way of proving that he would take the test.
