About the ENAM Cycle B Cameroon Exam
Competitive national entrance examination for Baccalauréat and GCE Advanced Level holders seeking admission into Cycle B at the École Nationale d'Administration et de Magistrature (ENAM) in Yaoundé.

Each division is opened by its own MINFOPRA arrêté, with its own papers, coefficients, deadline and examination dates.

Cycle B is opened each year by separate MINFOPRA arrêtés, one per division, all sat at the single Yaoundé centre with four written papers of 4 hours followed by oral admission tests at ENAM (a grand oral and an oral de langue, coefficient 1 each).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the official examination format of the ENAM Cycle B concours?
Four written papers of 4 hours each at the single Yaoundé centre, followed by a grand oral and an oral de langue at ENAM (coefficient 1 each). The papers differ by division: the Division Administrative sits Culture Générale (4), Droit Constitutionnel (3), Économie Générale (2) and a speciality paper (5); the Régies Financières sits Culture Générale (4), Droit Constitutionnel (2), Économie Générale (3) and a speciality paper (5); the Élèves-Greffiers sit Culture Générale (2), Organisation Judiciaire (3), Droit Pénal et Procédure Pénale (4) and Droit Civil et Procédure Civile (5).
Is ENAM Cycle B one competition or several?
Several. MINFOPRA signs a separate arrêté for each Cycle B division, each with its own places, papers, coefficients, deadline and examination dates. For 2026/2027 the arrêtés opened 50 places in the Division Administrative (30 Administration Générale, 10 Administration du Travail, 10 Affaires Sociales), 20 in the Division des Régies Financières (10 Comptabilité-Matières, 10 Prix, Poids et Mesures), and 10 Élèves-Greffiers. You must apply to one of them and follow its calendar.
What qualifications and age limits are required for ENAM Cycle B?
A Baccalauréat of secondary education, or the GCE Advanced Level in at least two subjects other than Religious Knowledge obtained in the same session, or the Capacité en Droit, or a foreign qualification recognised as equivalent by the Minister of Higher Education. Candidates must be aged 17 to 32 on 1 January of the concours year, with a waiver of up to five years for national invalidity card holders. Established civil servants may not apply.
What mark is needed to pass?
The arrêtés fix places, not a pass mark. Under décret n° 2000/696/PM of 13 September 2000, admissibility is acquired without any eliminatory mark for an average of at least 10/20 (Article 53), and a candidate must reach an overall average of at least 12/20 across all papers to be finally admitted, within the limit of the places offered (Article 54).
How does this practice question bank relate to the real ENAM Cycle B concours?
The official concours is written in French or English as dissertations and case papers and finishes with oral tests; it contains no multiple-choice questions. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation, not an official translation or a simulation of the real format. It concentrates on the material common across the three Cycle B routes — general knowledge and civic history, constitutional law and institutions, administrative organisation and drafting, and economics, public finance and judicial organisation.
