How to get in
We have not yet researched this university's admission pages, so we will not guess its deadlines or fees. Start from its official website and look for “international admissions”. The general process for France — exams, application platform, visa and costs — is in the France guide.
Studying in France
Indian students go to France for low public-university tuition, strong Grandes Ecoles (business/engineering) programmes, and government scholarships like Eiffel and Charpak. Every long-stay applicant must go through the Etudes en France (EEF) procedure run by Campus France before applying for the visa itself.
- Visa
- Long-stay student visa (VLS-TS), via the Etudes en France procedure — INR 20,000 · about ₹20,000
- After graduating
- Alumni visa (bilateral India-France agreement since 2015): 12 months, renewable once for another 12 months (24 months total), for Indian students who completed studies in France. Separately, a 5-year multiple-entry 'circulation' visa (for tourism/business, not work) is available to Indian residents holding a French Master's or PhD, including Indo-French dual-degree alumni. A 4-year 'Talent Passport' residence permit is also available to some graduates who find qualifying work.
