The 2026 edition of the business school rankings published by Le Figaro highlights a notable improvement by IMT-BS, which ranks among the top ten schools in terms of starting salaries.
Our school ranks 8th in terms of the median net salary of young graduates, an indicator that is particularly closely monitored by applicants to higher education.
Reliable data from Insersup
This ranking is based on fully verified and consistent data from the Insersup system. Developed by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, this statistical tool provides an accurate measure of the professional integration of higher education graduates.
The figures used relate to the class of 2021 and include not only net salaries, but also all bonuses and allowances received. They are based on official data from the Ministry of Labour and INSEE, thus providing an objective and comparable view between institutions.
A notable rise in the overall rankings
Beyond the salary criterion, IMT-BS also performed significantly well in Le Figaro’s overall rankings. The school has moved up two places and now ranks 16th nationally. This progress confirms the positive momentum that the institution has enjoyed for several years, driven by a solid educational strategy and constant alignment between market needs and the skills developed by students.
Recognition of a hybrid educational model
The results obtained reflect the relevance of IMT-BS’s educational model, based on the combination of management skills and scientific and technological culture. This hybridisation is a major asset in an economic environment where organisations are looking for innovative and creative managers who are able to collaborate effectively with engineers to support digital transformation projects.
This approach translates into recognised academic excellence, solid employability and attractive career paths for graduates. The quality of teaching, the involvement of the teaching teams, the proximity to businesses and the commitment of the entire community play a decisive role in the success of this model.
A strong signal for students
Career prospects remain an essential criterion when choosing a business school. By climbing into the national top 10 in terms of starting salaries and progressing in the overall rankings, IMT-BS is sending a strong signal to students: the institution offers attractive, highly valued career prospects that are in line with market expectations.
And it remains more than ever the number one school in terms of added value.
