Note: O General Institution Course Index (IGC) is an indicator of the quality of higher learning institutions that considers, in its composition, the quality of the undergraduate and graduate courses (masters and doctorate). As to the undergraduate course, the CPC indicator is used (preliminary course grade) and, as refers to the graduate courses, the Capes Grade is used. The final result is in continuous values (ranging from 0 to 500) and in intervals (from 1 to 5).
