After the preparatory classes (economic and social or literary), candidates wishing to enter the Grande École program must register for the Banque Commune d’ Epreuves (BCE) competitive entrance exam on the website www.concours-bce.com, from December 10 to January 14. This exam includes several written tests: reading comprehension, modern languages, mathematics, political essay, etc. The most deserving students are then declared eligible and must take part in oral exams.

Parallel admission to PGE is open to students with a minimum of three years of higher education. Applicants must fill out an application form on the school’s website and attach the following documents: post-baccalaureate diplomas, transcripts of all years of study, a CV, two letters of recommendation, a passport photo and scores from aptitude tests (TAGE MAGE, GRE) and English tests (TOEIC, IELTS). Like the candidates in preparatory classes, the best profiles will also have to undergo the demanding exercise of the personality interview.
