Yes, the bilateral agreement between India and France for extending the stay-back period is still applicable.
Indian students who complete a Master’s degree in France can benefit from streamlined visa processes and may be allowed to stay in France for up to two years after graduation to gain professional experience. This agreement remains in effect and continues to support extended post-study opportunities for Indian students.
