According to an official call for applications, the ministry will provide round-trip tickets to eligible candidates invited to sit oral exams in France as part of the 2026 admission process for selected French grandes écoles.
The measure targets students enrolled in, or having completed their second year at, Morocco’s preparatory classes for grandes écoles. Candidates must also be invited to oral examinations for French schools covered by Moroccan merit scholarship regulations. These include business school competitions such as BCE and Ecricome, as well as engineering school entrance exams, including X-ENS, Centrale Supélec, Mines-Ponts, CCINP, and ENSAM.
For candidates admitted to the CCINP oral examinations, a minimum average grade of 13.5 out of 20 is required.

Students wishing to benefit from the program must complete a pre-registration process through the preparatory classes portal no later than June 9 at 2 p.m. Those who have already submitted their French competition application form must confirm that they wish to receive the ministry-funded ticket. Access to the ticket request will only be granted after application records are validated.
The list of pre-registered candidates is scheduled to be published on the e-CPGE platform starting June 10. A committee bringing together representatives from several ministry departments and the CPGE Maroc network will then determine the beneficiaries. Selection will be based on school rankings within the scholarship eligibility framework and candidates’ written examination results.
Selected students will have 48 hours to confirm acceptance of the ticket offer. Travel dates must be entered through the online platform from June 17 and at least four working days before departure. Electronic tickets will be issued after candidates confirm they have obtained their visas.
The ministry said beneficiaries who leave Morocco before tickets are issued may still receive a return ticket from France after completing their oral examinations. The operation will continue until the end of the oral exam period and no later than July 31. The ministry also noted that the tickets cannot be reimbursed under any circumstances.
