Calling all HEC Paris Applicants Sept 2024 Intake

Last year the deadline was 15th August. HEC releases dates pretty close to the R1 deadline so it is best to be prepared.

Are you sure it was 15th August last year? I think it was 15th November 2022 for R1

This is not the fall intake calendar, i think. As per my records the R1 deadline was 15th Aug with the deadline to confirm as 19th October. But feel free to correct me

Hi! I received a positive feedback on my profile with a 640 on gmat! What are my chances to get accepted for January 2024 intake?

Does they reply positively to each candidate? Like I got 750 and they also encouraged me to apply

Thanks a lot!

Hi Arvind,
Does HEC have a one year Executive MBA course? If yes, when does the course commence..I mean which month of the year. I am in Govt service with a work experience of 20 years. I am expecting to get a GMAT score of 680 . What are my chances of getting admitted?

Nielgmat, where are you located and do you work FT? Trium is a prestigious global EMBA option where the average age is 40; they are doing a webinar tomorrow https://www.triumemba.org/

Not sure when it starts but be advised almost all EMBA programs are 22 to 24 months because it’s part time. LBS Sloan Fellows is a one year residency full time option for people your age.

HEC's Round 1 deadline for Sep '24 intake is August 14, 2023 and the decision date would be on September 15, 2023.

I have published a blog containing details of the MBA Application Deadlines for the top US and European B-schools (we will update the list as and when more schools announce their deadlines, so please make sure to bookmark and revisit the link to stay updated):

Good morning !! Thank you for the valuable information. However, could you please tell us whether chance for a candidate getting accepted is less in R2 than in R1. Thanks.

Nielgmat -

HEC does offer an 18 month Executive MBA (EMBA) program designed for experienced professionals such as yourself. The EMBA offers 2 different study formats (Weeklong i.e. 1 week every 2 months OR Weekend i.e. bi-monthly on Fri's & Sat's) and 4 flexible, part-time intakes options with start dates in Jan/ Feb/ Mar/ Sep. Programs are held in four locations: Paris, Jouy-en-Josas (close to Paris), Doha (Qatar) or Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).

For your EMBA application, you can opt for GMAT/ GRE or the in-house HEC management test. The in-house HEC management test typically happens during the interview stage i.e. after you submit your application and if you're pre-selected for interviews. Your extensive experience in the Govt. along with a GMAT 680 - 700 (or above) would put you in a good position. However, I would like to understand your career trajectory, goals, etc. in detail to advise better.

Keep in mind that GMAT is just one aspect of your overall application. Your profile including essays, CV, career progression, professional achievements, extracurriculars, etc. plays an equally important factor. Investing time in preparing a strong overall application, showcasing your motivation for the EMBA, and aligning your career goals with the EMBA would make your application strong.

HEC offers the option to complete an introductory form and schedule a call with the Recruitment manager (link below). This step is highly recommended and is an opportunity to discuss your profile and get personalized feedback from HEC.

If you are based in India, I believe the HEC EMBA team is visiting Bangalore later in October of this year, which would also be a great opportunity to connect with the HEC community in India, as well as EMBA alumni. Details at: https://bit.ly/43KKEUv

Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any queries.

This depends on both the school and the candidate.

For most US (and Europe schools) that have 3-4 application rounds in total, the number of seats (and scholarships) allocated per round generally reduces as the rounds progress. However, since HEC has 10-11 application rounds on a monthly rolling-basis, the timing of your application should not affect things much.

The ideal time to apply is when you are ready i.e. when YOUR GMAT score, essays, LORs, etc. are strong. In other words, applying in a later round with a stronger application is preferred to applying in an earlier round with a weaker application. As long as your application is strong and you apply within the initial few rounds, you have a fair shot.
