The evasion in higher education has been the subject of many discussions in the academic circles leading many researchers to engage in this thematic. This work proposes to conduct a comparative study of evasion in the Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology (BTI) and Sciences and Technology (BCeT) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, diagnosing possible causes of evasion, as well as permanence, completion and withdrawal) of these bachelors. The evasion defined in the study was the same as that of the INEP (2017), that is, evasion is the early exit, before the conclusion of the year, series or cycle, by withdrawal (regardless of motive), thus representing a termination condition of failure in in relation to the objective of promoting the student to a condition superior to that of admission, with respect to the expansion of knowledge, cognitive development, skills and competences aimed at the respective level of education. Obviously, the interruption of the program as a result of the student's death can not be attributed to failure, since, in general, it is a fortuitous event and one can not presume an intentionality of the individual in interrupting the course, ceasing it or inability of the individual to keep up with the educational program. Higher Education Institutions must submit to quality control, which is a right of society. College dropout is considered a multifaceted phenomenon that puts university education in check. Law No. 9,394 / 1996, REUNI and SiSU have brought about substantial changes in the organization and management of educational services. It is expected that, with this study, it will be possible to produce knowledge that will support the decision-making of the managers and the well-being of the students who will enter the University investigated.
