ENSTA consolidates its second place in the ranking of French engineering schools by L'Étudiant

Institute, Training, Research, Student Life

Following on from Le Figaro Étudiant's ranking published last November, the 2026 ranking by L'Étudiant magazine confirms the new ENSTA's lasting position among the top engineering schools in France.

The result of the commitment of all stakeholders in its community and its two campuses, this result confirms not only the academic excellence of the School and the quality of its research in the service of building the Institut Polytechnique de Paris to the highest standards, but also the benefits of its approach to continuous improvement in all its areas of activity, validating the School's ambitious policy.

ENSTA's international appeal is particularly highlighted this year, as the School received the second-highest score in the Top 10 in this area.

This ranking also highlights the quality of ENSTA's relationships with companies, which has resulted in the establishment in recent years of numerous chairs and “Employer Brand” agreements, guaranteeing a fruitful relationship between the School and its partners, but also a high level of professional integration for its young graduates.

Finally, in recent years, the L'Etudiant ranking has paid particular attention to the social openness of institutions and their sustainable development policies. ENSTA's policy in this area has enabled it to develop its recruitment and promote diversity among its students for several years, ensuring true equal opportunities in access to one of the best scientific and technical education programs in France.

Specifically, ENSTA is the second-best engineering school in France out of the 174 engineering schools evaluated and ranked by L'Etudiant, just behind École Polytechnique and ahead of IMT Atlantique and CentraleSupélec.
