All Indian applicants must follow the mandatory \u00c9tudes en France (EEF) procedure, which Campus France India manages. Getting this process wrong also delays both your admission and your visa application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the step-by-step process specifically for Indian students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Create your EEF account.<\/strong> Register on the \u00c9tudes en France portal (india.campusfrance.org). Create your account as soon as the portal opens, ideally in October-November for a September 2026 intake. Do not wait until you finalize your program shortlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Build your academic profile.<\/strong> Enter your Class 10, Class 12, and graduation marks accurately. Universities see this profile directly. A mismatch between your profile and your uploaded documents are one of the most common reasons for Campus France interview problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Upload your documents.<\/strong> Upload all required documents in PDF format. See the checklist table below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: Apply to programs.<\/strong> The EEF portal lets you apply to up to 12 programs across different public universities in France. Some universities may additionally ask for a direct application on their admissions portal. Check each university&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5: Pay the Campus France fee of<\/strong> <strong>Rs.18,500 as of 2025-26.<\/strong> This is non-refundable, even if you withdraw your application or your visa is rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6: Attend your Campus France interview.<\/strong> You will be called for an interview at your nearest Campus France office in India (currently in Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune, and Bengaluru). The interview is in person and typically covers your academic background, motivation for France, program choice, and financial planning. After a successful interview, you receive an EEF number. You cannot book your VFS appointment without this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 7: Get the student visa. <\/strong>After you get your EEF number and an offer letter, go to VFS to apply for your visa. Visa processing takes 7 to 30 working days. Apply at least 6-8 weeks before your intended arrival date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-04379bf\" id=\"strong-documents-checklist-for-indian-students-applying-to-public-universities-in-france-strong\" data-block-id=\"04379bf\"><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><strong>Documents Checklist for Indian Students Applying to Public Universities in France<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-palette-color-5-background-color has-background has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Document<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>UG Applicants<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Master&#8217;s\/PhD Applicants<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>India-Specific Details<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Valid Indian Passport<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Must be valid for at least 18 months beyond program start date<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Class 10 Marksheet<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Original and self-attested photocopy<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Class 12 Marksheet<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Board-issued original; apostille if required by university<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bachelor&#8217;s Degree Marksheet (all semesters)<\/td><td>Not applicable<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>All semester marksheets, not just consolidated<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Provisional Certificate or Degree Certificate<\/td><td>Not applicable<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>If final degree not yet issued, a provisional one with university seal is accepted<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Medium of Instruction (MOI) Certificate<\/td><td>Required (for English programs)<\/td><td>Required (for English programs)<\/td><td>Issued by your Indian university registrar on official letterhead<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Statement of Purpose (SOP)<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Must be original; Campus France runs a plagiarism check<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Letters of Recommendation<\/td><td>Optional<\/td><td>Required (2 minimum)<\/td><td>From professors or employer; on institutional letterhead<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Language Proficiency Certificate<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>IELTS 6.0-7.0, TOEFL 80-100, or DELF\/DALF for French programs; some accept MOI certificate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Financial Documents<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Bank statements showing Rs.9-10L minimum recommended; in your name or parents&#8217; name with a letter of sponsorship<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Passport-Size Photograph<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Required<\/td><td>Formal, white background<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Also read:<\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/study-in-france-without-ielts-universities-and-colleges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <\/a><\/em><em><u><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/study-in-france-without-ielts-universities-and-colleges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study in France without IELTS<\/a><\/u><\/em><em> if your chosen program accepts an MOI certificate instead.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Counselor insight:<\/strong> The most common documentation mistake Indian students make is submitting consolidated marksheets instead of individual semester marksheets.

But remember, you are competing only against other Indian applicants for a scholarship designed specifically for Indians, not a global pool like Eiffel. A 7.5+ CGPA, a well-written SOP that explains your specific Indo-French academic interest, and an admission offer from a recognized public university in France significantly improve your chances. Furthermore, Charpak and Eiffel cannot be combined. Apply to both and accept whichever offer you receive. If you get Eiffel, the higher stipend makes Paris viable without financial stress. If you get Charpak, it works well in Grenoble, Lyon, or Strasbourg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For more details on all available funding options, read the full guide on<\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/french-scholarships-for-indian-students-online-guide-to-avail-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <\/a><\/em><em><u><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/french-scholarships-for-indian-students-online-guide-to-avail-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">French scholarships for Indian students<\/a><\/u><\/em><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-3504bcf\" id=\"strong-what-to-do-when-things-go-wrong-visa-rejections-document-delays-and-campus-france-interview-issues-strong\" data-block-id=\"3504bcf\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_When_Things_Go_Wrong_Visa_Rejections_Document_Delays_and_Campus_France_Interview_Issues\"><\/span><strong>What to Do When Things Go Wrong: Visa Rejections, Document Delays, and Campus France Interview Issues<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your Campus France interview result was negative:<\/strong> Request written feedback from the Campus France office. The most common reasons are weak financial documentation, a poorly matched SOP, or inconsistencies in your academic profile. Address these gaps and reapply in the next cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your student visa was rejected after a successful Campus France interview:<\/strong> The most frequent causes are inadequate financial proof or a mismatch between your visa application and EEF file. You have the right to appeal within the timeframe specified in your rejection letter. Review your documents with a counselor before resubmitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your marksheet or degree certificate has not arrived before the deadline:<\/strong> Most universities and Campus France accept a provisional certificate from your Indian university registrar, provided it carries the university seal and registrar&#8217;s signature. Requesting this letter early typically takes two to four weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your IELTS score is lower than the program requirement:<\/strong> Several public universities in France accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate from your Indian university as an alternative. Confirm this information directly with each university&#8217;s admissions office before applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your name does not match across documents:<\/strong> A name mismatch between your passport, Class 10 certificate, and degree is a common issue for Indian applicants. Obtain a notarized affidavit confirming that both names refer to the same person and attach it to your EEF file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-f522168\" id=\"strong-conclusion-3-actionable-takeaways-for-indian-students-strong\" data-block-id=\"f522168\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion_3_Actionable_Takeaways_for_Indian_Students\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion: 3 Actionable Takeaways for Indian Students<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First, do not apply directly to public universities in France.<\/strong> The \u00c9tudes en France (EEF) process through Campus France India is mandatory for Indian students and takes two to three months from account creation to interview. Start in October or November for a September 2026 intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second, apply for the Charpak scholarship at the same time as your university applications, not after receiving your offer letter. <\/strong>The scholarship deadline is typically in March or April, which overlaps with the university admission cycle. Waiting for an offer letter before applying almost always means you miss the scholarship window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Third, compare cities seriously before choosing a program.<\/strong> Paris-based public universities in France have strong brand recognition, but Lyon, Grenoble, and Strasbourg offer programs of comparable quality in engineering, CS, and international studies at Rs.30,000 to Rs.50,000 less per month in living costs. Over a two-year master&#8217;s program, that difference adds up to Rs.7L to Rs.12L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Have questions about applying to public universities in France?<\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/webflow_progressive_form?utm_source=Counselling_SEO&amp;utm_medium=Blogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> <\/a><\/em><em><u><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/webflow_progressive_form?utm_source=Counselling_SEO&amp;utm_medium=Blogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book a free session with a LeapScholar counselor.<\/a><\/u><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-2deea72\" id=\"strong-explore-more-strong\" data-block-id=\"2deea72\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_More\"><\/span><strong>Explore More<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/top-universities-in-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top Universities in France for International Students<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/french-scholarships-for-indian-students-online-guide-to-avail-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">French Scholarships for Indian Students: Complete Guide<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/post-study-work-visa-france-requirement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Post-Study Work Visa France: Requirements and Duration<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/study-visa-in-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Study Visa in France: Step-by-Step Process<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/jobs-in-france-for-international-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jobs in France for International Students<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/france-intake-universities-and-deadlines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">France Intake Deadlines and University Calendar<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-a9cb03b\" id=\"strong-frequently-asked-questions-strong\" data-block-id=\"a9cb03b\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<ul class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<li id=\"faq-question-1775644484537\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \">Q1. <strong>Are public universities in France free?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A) Public universities in France are not free for Indian students.
