France welcomes 30,000 Indian students by 2030  

President Macron is working to strengthen education connections between France and India. He has set a goal to welcome 30,000 Indian students to French Universities by 2030. Recognizing India's significant role in the Indo-Pacific area, he is committed to reaching this target. To make it easier for Indian students, France plans to simplify the visa process and will introduce programs to encourage learning the French language. 
 

Good news for Indian students pursuing Master’s in France 

Indian students pursuing their Master’s degree in France are now eligible for a five-year post-study work visa. This is a significant increase from the previous two-year visa that was offered to Indian students. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced during his visit to La Seine Musicale in Paris.

This will attract more Indian students to France, which is already a popular study destination for international students. France is known for its high-quality education system, affordable tuition fees, and scholarship opportunities. In 2022, over 6,000 Indian students and in session 2021-2022, over 4 million international students chose to study in France.

The five-year post-study work visa will allow Indian students to get work experience in France. This will help them to build their careers and create future employment opportunities.
