How to find MBB application deadlines for graduate roles in the Middle East?

Hi everyone,

I’m a final-year student (graduating next spring) and interested in applying for full-time graduate roles in the Middle East (e.g., BCG, McKinsey, Bain).

I can’t find any clear information about application deadlines for this region. Do they usually post them on the company websites, or are they announced through universities/networks? Are the deadlines fixed (once per year) or rolling?

Any advice on where to reliably check for these deadlines would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Deadlines for MBB roles in the Middle East can vary a bit depending on the office and the type of role (full-time vs. internship). In most cases, the firms publish them directly on their official careers pages, but it’s common for Middle East offices to also rely heavily on university career centers and student networks. Unlike some regions where applications are rolling, MBB firms in the Middle East often stick to fixed cycles, usually once or twice a year.

Hi there,

For MBB Middle East, deadlines aren’t always fixed – some roles are on rolling basis while others have annual intakes. The best way is to check the official careers pages frequently and also stay in touch with recruiters/university career services, as they often announce region-specific timelines. Networking with current consultants in the region can also give you an early heads-up.

Best,

Hi there,

For MBB in the Middle East, deadlines are not always centralized or announced the same way every year. The most reliable source is each firm’s careers website — that’s where official openings and timelines are published. Many offices in the region recruit on a fixed annual cycle (typically once per year for graduate intakes), while a few roles may be posted on a rolling basis.

Usually, if it's a fixed annual cycle - they open by end of August and close by end of October / mid November for the next cycle.

A good rule of thumb: check the company sites regularly, set up job alerts, and leverage alumni or recruiting contacts to confirm timing.
