France has emerged as a top destination for Indian students due to its world-class education, affordable tuition, and diverse programs across disciplines like business, engineering, and arts. Over 1,700 degrees are taught in English, making it accessible for non-French speakers.
The availability of scholarships and subsidized tuition enhances affordability, while post-study work visas provide opportunities to build careers in France. With over 570 French companies operating in India, students also benefit from strong professional and cultural ties.
As of 2019, 10,000 Indian students were studying in France, with the goal to reach 20,000 by 2025. This growing trend reflects France's commitment to welcoming Indian students and offering global exposure.
