SIGEM 2024 ranking methodology

The SIGEM rankings are drawn up according to the preferences of bi-admitted students (admitted to two schools) when choosing schools.

For example, in the case of HEC Paris vs ESSEC :
- Rank of last admitted student from HEC Paris: 400,
- Rank of last admitted ESSEC student: 823.

Of the bi-admitted students (those in the TOP 400 at HEC and TOP 823 at ESSEC), 358 chose to go to HEC Paris and only 1 to ESSEC.

Students who decide to join another institution are not included in the calculation.
