A total of 148 baccalaureate graduates, the vast majority of professional high school students, compared to 160 last year, are still unassigned at the end of the Parcoursup procedure, announced on Tuesday October 3, the Ministry of National Education and that of ‘Higher Education.

Like every year, candidates who did not receive an admission offer were able to ask their academy’s access to higher education commission (CAES) to help them find training.

“The reduction in the duration of the admission phase and its increased efficiency have enabled the CAES to take on baccalaureate graduates without a proposal more quickly this year. To date, 148 high school students, the vast majority of professional high school students, continue to be supported by the CAES”compared to 160 last year, write the ministries in a press release.

Like last year, the Parcoursup site will be accessible for simple consultation from December 20 to access the training offer available in 2024. From January 17, students will be able to register and express their wishes on the platform , until March 14 at midnight.
