In this evaluative context, it is important for post-graduation programs to know a little about the profile of candidates for the selection process, either from the results obtained in a theme, or by the interests in certain specialties manifested by the candidates at the time of registration for the exam. Thus, this study aims to analyze and explore POSCOMP microdata from 2016 to 2019 editions with data mining techniques, following the steps of KDD process, in order to extract information and relevant knowledge, with the aim of making the results available to academic managers, candidates, and other interested parties, elucidating the performance and profile of the applicants to the post graduation program from the state of Pará in the exam. The results show that the performance of candidates residing in Pará is close to the national performance in most of the subjects of the exam, reaching 80% of the national performance in all subjects, except mathematical logic, the results also show that software engineering and artificial intelligence are the most desired specialties by candidates, and the number of women enrolled in the exam on the state presented a rise since 2018, being different trends from the national ones.Acesso AbertoAnálise de desempenhoAnálise exploratóriaMineração de dadosPOSCOMPPós-graduaçãoPerformance analysisExploratory analysisData MiningPost graduationCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::CIENCIA DA COMPUTACAOTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
