Concours Centrale-Supelec competitive exam is opened to any French-speaking undergraduate students. Only bright second-year undergraduates and third-year undergraduates may actually have a chance to succeed at the exam, due to high requirements upon maths and physics knowledge. The scope of knowledges needed is up to and may be beyond a standard Bachelor of Science curriculum. For this reason, about 47,000 undergraduate French students usually attend scientific Classe Préparatoire aux Grandes Écoles for two or three years, in order to reach the appropriate body of knowledges in these fields. The selective exam takes place every year, with several written parts taken in April–May by about 9,000 candidates simultaneously in many examination centres worldwide ; then multiple individual test sessions take place in June–July at Centrale Paris for those candidates allowed to proceed on the exam process. Candidates are then ranked by order of merit. About 1,300 of them are able to enter Ecoles Centrales Networks each year and proceed with Centrale Graduate cursus. (To be compared with the 500,000 students who pass the Baccalauréat exam so as to start the French undergraduate cursus and to the 20,000 undergraduate students who actually succeed and enroll in a French engineering school, including Ecoles Centrales Networks among others, each year).
