This study originated in a dissertation that analyzed racial balancing through the high school technical program integrated modality admission at Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Sul-rio-grandense (IFSul), Pelotas Campus, and the racial balancing student general Picture regarding positive action policies of attendance and academic achievement. For such, case study methodology and the analysis of categories referring to the receipt or not of benefits offered by the institution were used with both qualitative (theoretical references studies on the subject) and quantitative (systemic data analysis) approaches. As for data collection, bibliographic research and systemic data extraction were used, as well as a questionnaire was applied to the universe of students who joined the institution in 2014/1. At the end, it was concluded that racial balancing can promote a "pseudo" social mobility, and that joining the institution through this system does not necessarily guarantee attendance or academic achievement.
