Paulo organizes, since 2012, a national ranking of universities[1] with criteria akin to those used by the better known worldwide rankings: research, teaching, internationalization, innovation and market value. 2019[2] | 2016[3] | 2015[4] | 2012[5] | University | | | | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | USP - University of São Paulo 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Unicamp - University of Campinas 3 | 1 | 2 | 3 | UFRJ - Federal University of Rio de Janeiro 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 | UFMG - Federal University of Minas Gerais 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | UFRGS - Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | Unesp - São Paulo State University 7 | 8 | 7 | 9 | UFSC - Federal University of Santa Catarina 8 | 7 | 8 | 7 | UFPR - Federal University of Paraná 9 | 9 | 9 | 8 | UnB - University of Brasília 10 | 12 | 10 | 10 | UFPE - Federal University of Pernambuco 11 | 10 | 11 | 18 | UFC - Federal University of Ceará 12 | 11 | 12 | 17 | UFSCar - Federal University of São Carlos 13 | 13 | 14 | 11 | UERJ - Rio de Janeiro State University 14 | 14* | 15 | 12 | UFBA - Federal University of Bahia 15 | 17 | 16 | 22 | UFV - Federal University of Viçosa 16 | 16 | 22 | 14 | UNIFESP - Federal University of São Paulo 17 | 14* | 13 | 15 | UFF - Fluminense Federal University 18 | 22 | 20 | 16 | PUCRS - Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul 19 | 21 | 19 | 13 | PUCRJ - Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro 20 | 20 | 17 | 23 | UFG - Federal University of Goiás 21 | 18 | 18 | 20 | UFSM - Federal University of Santa Maria 22 | 23 | 25 | 21 | UFRN - Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte 26 | 19 | 20* | 38 | UFJF - Federal University of Juiz de Fora * tied. ### Brazilian government evaluation Higher education evaluations are also conducted by the Brazilian Government; specifically by Inep (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais; English: National Institute of Studies and Research). The Government uses a General Index of Courses (Portuguese: Índice Geral de Cursos; IGC) to determinate the quality of Brazilian's higher education (graduate and post-graduate courses) in Brazil . It's important to add that Universidade de São Paulo, one of the most prestigious universities in the country, has been participating in the IGC since 2013 as part of a technical cooperation with Inep that will last three years, during which time the results concerning the university's courses will not be disclosed. Only then will the university decide whether to fully participate in the government evaluation.[1] #### 2012 Índice Geral de Cursos 2012 rankings[6] | University | 1 | UFRGS - Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul 2 | UFLA -
