Choose France Tour has presented Indian students, especially high-school graduates, with various prospects for pursuing advanced studies in France. Students got the chance to get first-hand information from representatives of 37 leading universities, Grandes Ecoles, and colleges about the programs they can attend, 

Students got a unique opportunity for one-on-one meetings with the schools. These individual meetings allowed them to share their CV and receive free counseling directly from the schools on how to apply next year! The Choose France Tour 2022 was also an opportunity for Indian and French educators and academicians to explore potential collaboration.
