ESIGELEC's new student numbers have progressed by 10%.  The school now has 180 first-year students and 420 in the 1st year of the engineering course. In all, there are 1660 students in the different course programmes (Engineer, Masters, Doctorate).

This dynamic should develop further in the future, now that the school is part of the Concours Avenir, the leading entrance exam for post-baccalaureate private schools, which now includes 7 top engineering schools that are widely recognised for the quality of their courses (ECE-Paris, EIGSI La Rochelle, EISTI Cergy/Pau, EPF Sceaux /Troyes/Montpellier, ESIGELEC Rouen, ESILV Paris-La Défense and ESTACA Saint-Quentin en-Yvelines/Laval). ESIGELEC's participation in the Concours Avenir is fully in line with the school's strategic development. On 1 January 2016, ESIGELEC joined the schools in the UGEI (Union des Grandes Ecoles Indépendantes), a federation bringing together premium engineering and business schools, including the Concours Avenir schools. Pursuing this dynamic, the school wanted to consolidate its links with these schools, which share values of high academic standards, openness and ethics. ESIGELEC's geographic location and its orientation regarding "Intelligent and Connected Systems" help to broaden the range of the Concours Avenir in a logic of coherence and complementarity.
