- Stages of the admission process
Stage 1: application review
Your eligibility results will be sent to you personally by e-mail on April 7, 2025 (provisional date). Eligible candidates will be invited to log on to a platform to choose the day on which they will take the entrance tests (only one date can be chosen, and cannot be changed). As the number of candidates per day is limited, certain dates will only be available to candidates who register early. Candidates must come to the school reception desk at 7.45 a.m. on the chosen date, with proof of identity.
Stage 2: Entrance tests
Entrance tests will be held over one day at IMT Mines Albi from 16 to 25 April 2025. See the application form for details of the tests.
• A written test with questions in mathematics (2nd year level - scientific) and French (vocabulary, grammar, conjugation, reading comprehension, summary) in the form of multiple choice questions.
• An oral interview with a panel of judges on your motivations and career plans.
• An oral test in English.
In the event of force majeure, the schedule or tests may be adjusted.
The results of the academic admissions committee will be sent to you personally from May 03, 2025. If the academic admissions committee declares you academically admitted after the written and oral entrance tests, you will then need to find a host company. We recommend looking for a host company as early as the month of April preceding the start of the academic year.
Stage 3: Finding a host company
Eligible candidates are given training in finding a host company. The company must sign the agreement to recruit a work-study student no later than September 20, 2025.
• Admission to the work-study track will be granted to the first candidates admitted following the written and oral entrance tests, who have found a host company, subject to obtaining the required degree, and subject to the number of places available.
• In lifelong learning, once academic admission has been granted, the process of finding and finalizing financing for the program will be carried out in partnership with the host company’s human resources department.
Documents to be completed by the company and candidates to finalize the recruitment process
We strongly recommend that candidates actively look for a host company even before their academic admission is confirmed. Finding a host company for an apprenticeship contract is like looking for a job. This is the final criterion for selection of candidates. Many companies, of all sizes and in all sectors, are looking for engineers with sound scientific, technical and managerial skills. Take advantage of this opportunity!
