There are two written tests (1.5-hour multiple-choice questions) to assess the requirements for admission to the Grande Ecole Program (PGE):

An engineering science exam common to all original courses , including basic-level questions on mathematics, mechanics, and electricity, electronics, and automation.
A specialized exam depending on the original field of study: mechanical engineering (GM), including more advanced questions on mechanics, or electrical engineering (GE), including more advanced questions on electricity, electronics, and automation.

The program largely corresponds to the programs of the reference fields, namely that of the BUT GMP for the GM specialty field, and that of the BUT G2EI for the GE specialty field.

Apply in your second year of study and defer your admission!

You have the option of deferring your admission for one year by taking a gap year. For example, you can apply for the second year of a BUT program and, if you are admitted, complete your BUT and join Arts et Métiers following Arts et Métiers .
You can access the same training program (same diploma) through an apprenticeship. If you are interested, sign up for the dedicated interview.
