In order to support equal opportunities and support the most deserving students in their international academic career, the Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports is providing provision of free plane tickets for the benefit of Moroccan candidates admitted to the oral tests entrance exams to major French engineering and business schools.
This measure concerns students registered or having continued their second year in the Preparatory Centers for Grandes Ecoles (CPGE) in Morocco and summoned to the oral exams for the French competitions for the 2026 session. Are particularly concerned the BCE and Ecricome competitions for business schools, as well as the X-ENS, Centrale Supélec, Mines-Ponts, CCINP and Arts et Métiers competitions for engineering schools. For candidates eligible for the INP common competition (CCINP), a minimum average of 13.5/20 is required.
Candidates wishing to benefit from this assistance must complete a pre-registration via the section “French competition” of the portal e-CPGE. The deadline for submitting applications is set at Tuesday June 9, 2026 at 2 p.m.. Access to the request will only be validated after verification of the information provided.
The selection of beneficiaries will be carried out by a commission composed of representatives of the ministry and the CPGE Maroc collective. The ranking of the schools concerned as well as the results obtained in the written tests for French competitions will serve as the main selection criteria. In the event of a tie between several candidates from the same business school, a draw may be organized.
The selected students will then have a period of 48 hours to confirm their acceptance of the ticket. Travel dates must be entered on the e-CPGE portal, while the electronic ticket will be sent after confirmation of obtaining the visa. The ministry also specifies that tickets granted free of charge are not refundable.
This initiative aims to alleviate financial constraints linked to travel to France and to allow a greater number of Moroccan students to access the oral exams of the most selective competitions of French major schools, concludes the ministry.
