The entrance conditions of 42 are only 18 to 30 years old, no exam fee is to be paid and no academic qualification is required. Exams are conducted to select 800 students from approximately 60,000 applicants, but the examination content is not tests that ask questions such as knowledge, but emphasis is placed on "how to think?", And the examination period It is also quite long for 4 months. One of the educational objectives of 42 is to uncover the buried talent among the children who have missed the rails of compulsory education. Therefore, it seems that it is necessary to take time to select entrants carefully over time.

There is no teacher in our own teaching system which is also one of the popular one of 42. The students are going to learn by solving the problem by working together. The principal of 42 Nicolas Sadirac said, "I do not want to teach something to students, I want students to find out how to solve problems themselves, because we have no idea about possible problems in the future of the student at all Since I do not know, I need to get out of the traditional education system to raise a creative person ", explains why the educational method was different from other schools
