For the last graduates still unassigned, the complementary phase of the higher education platform Parcoursup, which makes it possible to formulate ten new wishes in the courses with available places, ends this Thursday at midnight.

Faced with the influx of high school students this year generated by the record rate of success in the bac - 20,000 more graduates - the ministry decided to extend this phase, which was initially due to end on September 10.

The figures of unassigned baccalaureate holders unveiled next week

On the other hand, it will be necessary to wait a little to know the number of young people left without assignment.

They were 1,175 last year around the same time.

"The work carried out by the commissions for access to higher education (CAES) to provide a solution to applicants who request them will continue over the next few days, which will make it possible to draw up a first assessment of the procedure next week" , announced the Ministry of Higher Education.

At the beginning of September, Minister Frédérique Vidal mentioned "a few thousand" candidates who were still waiting for a place.

At the time, she declared: "the vast majority of graduates have a place" and "the figures for assignments are better than last year".

Overbooking in certain sectors

“To date, the last outstanding cases are in the process of being resolved.

Despite the complexity of the situation with the influx of high school graduates, we were able to get by.

We pushed the walls but this exercise is reaching its limits, ”explains Guillaume Gellé, president of the University of Reims and member of the Conference of University Presidents (CPU).

According to him, "it becomes essential to diversify the orientation of baccalaureate holders upstream and to create places earlier".

At the University of Cergy-Pontoise near Paris, "the classic courses such as law or eco-management are fulfilled to date and we have even done a little" overbooking "in these sectors", explains François Germinet, its president. .
