Official Admission Statistics page: "an R score of 27 is the minimum required to be admitted to a program at Polytechnique Montréal", in addition to a DEC in a profile deemed relevant. For non-limited-enrolment programs, the same page states: "Candidates with an R score equal to or above 27 with a DEC deemed relevant may be admitted to one of these programs", while noting that a maximum intake capacity may be determined without notice.

Prerequisites

Basis of admission

Eligible DECs and their conditions

Required prerequisite courses

For the technical DECs on the official list, the 6 preparatory courses are ADDED to the 120 credits of the engineering training; exemption from the corresponding course possible if each has already been passed with a grade ≥ 75% (college) or C (university). For any OTHER technical DEC: the 6 courses must have been passed BEFORE the start of courses at Polytechnique, with an average ≥ 75% across all 6 courses. If the course Electricity and Magnetism (203-NYB) has not been passed before starting the bachelor's degree, it will have to be taken at Polytechnique in the first term (official brochure). The official exemptions page publishes, technical DEC by technical DEC, the Polytechnique courses exempted as training continuity (e.g. 241.A0 → mechanical engineering: MEC1410, MEC1510, MEC2500, MEC3520), subject to an R score above 27.

Official pathways

Offer of admission in a 2nd or 3rd program choice

In general, if you are not admitted to your first choice, Polytechnique may make you an offer in a second choice, or even a 3rd choice, provided you meet the minimum admission requirements (R score ≥ 27 and a DEC deemed relevant).

Preparatory courses integrated into the training (admissible technical DECs)

The 6 preparatory courses (differential calculus, integral calculus, linear algebra, general chemistry, mechanics, electricity and magnetism) are added to the bachelor's degree's 120 credits; exemption from the corresponding course if already passed (≥ 75% at college or C at university).

Source

Complete the science courses at CEGEP before entry (other technical DEC)

For a technical DEC outside the admissible list: pass the 6 courses (or equivalents) before the start of courses at Polytechnique, with an average ≥ 75% across the whole set.

Source

Take the missing course at Polytechnique in the first term

If the course Electricity and Magnetism (203-NYB) or the equivalent has not been passed before starting the bachelor's degree, it will be taken at Polytechnique in the first term.

Plan B — related programs to consider

École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) — bachelor's degrees in engineering

No published minimum R score; admission based on the DEC and the required science courses, with the university technology stream for DECs that are not directly admissible.

Other bachelor's degrees in engineering at Polytechnique Montréal

If the first choice is refused, Polytechnique may make an offer in a 2nd or 3rd program choice, provided the minimum admission requirements are met.

Source

Polytechnique's integrated preparatory year (30 credits, 1 year, admission in fall and winter) targets persons who completed their secondary studies OUTSIDE Quebec with no university or postsecondary studies afterwards; it is not a published pathway for holders of a Quebec DEC. No current official Polytechnique page publishes a file review below the R score of 27 (tables published by CEGEPs mention an individual review below 27, but that is not an official Polytechnique source — not retained).
