Grandes Écoles are institutions of higher education that are separate from, but parallel and connected to the main framework of the Moroccan-French public university system. Similar to the Ivy League in the United States, Oxbridge in the UK, and C9 League in China, Grandes Écoles are elite academic institutions that admit students through an extremely competitive process. Mines Rabat's Alumni go on to occupy elite positions within government, administration, and corporate firms in Morocco.

Despite its small size (fewer than 300 students are accepted each year, after a very selective exam), it is a crucial part of the infrastructure of the Moroccan industry.
