Answer 1

Hi there,

Congrats in advance for completing the MBA!

Regarding BCG Dubai, you can already apply from now on, and you can reference in your resume when you expect to complete your MBA (e.g. expected Dec 2025).

For the process, it is fairly standard across all BCG offices. You can find the details through this link: https://www.preplounge.com/en/articles/interview-bcg

My strong recommendation is to start preparing as soon as possible case studies, as this is the crucial part of the interviews. 3 months is a sufficient time to prepare, provided that you dedicate the right amount of time with the right approach

Happy to help you prepare for the interviews - I'm also based in Dubai :)

Best,

Oussama

Since you are at INSEAD right now, talk to you class mates from BCG they are “ambassadors on campus” and can help you figure out the best way forward.

Hey there :)

You should definitely apply now rather than wait until graduation—Dubai recruiting is quite structured, and they like to line up candidates in advance. The process is usually two rounds: the first with consultants/managers (mix of fit and case), and the second with principals/partners, again both fit and case-focused. Sometimes they add a written case or presentation, but the classic two-round format is most common.

I also worked in the Dubai office and can say the process is very standard MBB, with a strong emphasis on structured communication and cultural fit for the region.
