Students can look forward to subsidized fees, training in French, and visa facilities on offer. 50 French academic institutions are participating in Country-wide Education Fairs, offering ease-of-study measures.
The French government announced its educational initiative, Choose France Tour 2023, in Delhi. This event coincides with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit as the chief guest for France's National Day on July 14 and is being held in the presence of H.E. Mr. Thierry Mathou, Ambassador of France to India.’
Speaking about the Tour, Mr Emmanuel Lebrun-Damiens, Country Director, The French Institute in India, said, “Apart from the fact that France and India have an agreement for the Mutual Recognition of Academic Qualifications, which eases admissions in each other’s institutions, President Macron has also announced an ambitious goal of welcoming 30,000 Indian students to France by 2030. Welcoming Indian students to our academic institutions will lay the foundation for cultural comprehension and lifelong friendship between our two nations. Besides, it will also enrich our classrooms with diverse perspectives.” He added: “In addition to boosting student exchanges, the fairs will also help Indian students explore practical ways for seeking job opportunities in France after graduating there.”
The Choose France Tour offers a wide range of subjects where Indian students can consider pursuing their higher studies. This initiative, which aligns with the French government's ambitious goal to host 30,000 Indian students in France by 2030, has attracted participation from as many as 50 French educational institutions, including universities, Grandes Ecoles, and colleges.
This year the Choose France Tour is taking place from October 8 to October 15 in Chennai, Kolkata, New Delhi, and Mumbai. This event is being organized by the French Institute in India, the educational, cultural, and scientific wing of the Embassy of France in India, in collaboration with Campus France, a French government sector organization. Additionally, it is being supported by Alliance Française.
