École nationale d'ingénieurs du Val de Loire

The École nationale d'ingénieurs du Val de Loire (ENIVL) is a French grande école leading to the French “Diplôme d’Ingénieur” under the authority of the French Ministry of Education and Research. It is a public school accredited by the Commission for engineering qualifications (CTI) to deliver an engineering degree. The ENIVL is a 5-year school.

In September 2014, ENIVL became a member of the network of the National Institutes of Applied Sciences (INSA), merging with the National School of Engineers of Bourges (ENSIB) to give INSA Val de Loire.

Admission
The first year admission to the ENIVL is made through a selective examination during the year leading to the baccalauréat (S serie). To enter the school for 2nd, 3rd and 4th year, admission is through various examinations: E3a, ENSEA, and Banque PT.
