Abstract
<jats:p>It is important to ensure that students meet the admission profile for a professional program, as this prepares them to face future challenges. This is particularly evident in informatics programs, which require a profile oriented toward abstraction, complex problem-solving, and other related skills. This research aims to assess whether incoming students meet the expected profile and to determine whether curriculum design influences their consolidation. To achieve this, an evaluation model was developed based on KDD (Knowledge Discovery in Databases) or Data Mining techniques, applied to student records from an informatics program. The analysis identified patterns indicating that curriculum design has an impact on the fulfillment of the incoming student profile. Therefore, the findings of this study suggest that a well-structured curriculum is a key factor in ensuring that the admission profile is met.</jats:p>
