about public universities in Paris and game programming course in public universities.

Hey Vishant! Even though there are many public universities in Paris, from my research, I cannot find any that are offering a course in game programming. However, here are a few reputable names of institutes that offer the program that you are interested in (private): ISART and LISAA Paris. If you are interested in studying game programming in universities elsewhere in France, type in your interests on www.academiccourses.com and it will list down various programmes for you! Hope this helps!

thanks bhai

Salut mate, I really liked your video. I live in Toulouse and just started to create the same content as you do. Please check out my video and if you like you like, we do something together. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ImNrjWvoVbs.html

K Trashh I did not apply for CAF, however, the website gave me an approximate amount of €120. Also, €700 for each of you in Paris is actually a good amount! you should always reconfirm with your landlord if the house is applicable for CAF, many houses aren’t...

hahahah thank you so much Elle! 🥰

Thank you Sophia! Wishing you the best for your graduation year! 🥰

For the next university year starting in September 2021, it's unfortunately too late for public universities. French students have to register on this website called "Parcoursup", on which a vast majority of public universities are available. It usually starts in November/December of the year before the school year you want to attend

coming up 🤪😉

@@KaranPunjabi please make that video

Thank you! 🥰

Typically admissions would open as soon as February-April for the September intake and around November for the January intake. You still might have to wait to begin your student visa application as that cannot be applied for over 3 months before your program starts in most countries. All these dates might have changed in light of the pandemic...in any case, each uni will have their application deadlines on the homepages of their websites.

Hey Chaitanya, I studied French in school from grade 4-10. I even gave my 10th grade boards in French. This was the only I learned the foundation of the language. If you want to learn French, I’d really suggest downloading flashcard apps that teach you using imagery. Duolingo is the most common one. Once you do this, start rewatching shows that you are familiarized with in French, with English subtitles. Can be any show like Friends or even movies like Harry Potter. Additionally, you can go online and find platforms where strangers are willing to help correct your pronunciation. I feel like this is your best way to begin!! After this you can invest time into books, French comics, and read about the culture which will set perspective to the language...Hope this helps!

@@KaranPunjabi Thank you for your response! I started off with duolingo and am watching Dix pour cent just to get a hang of the vocab. ❤❤ PS : The series is so goood!!!

It begins in late August/September, usually you can begin applying in March up till July

thank you! yes it is

Hey Rishabh, thank you 🥰 So an approximate fee for an English undergrad course at a private university in France is usually between €7000-€11000 per year.

😭😭😭 IKRR OMGGG. BTW YOU'RE ANNN ARMYY??

Great question! No, this is not allowed! Check this out : www.quora.com/Can-I-work-as-a-freelance-while-staying-in-France-with-a-student-visa

It is illegal to work free Lancer in student visa

Bro same case hai mera bhi

Me too

Hey! If you’re confused and don’t know where to begin: I would start listing down universities you’re most interested in. Since it’s admissions season there are a countless number of webinars, virtual open days, Instagram live sessions that these schools are conducting. Once you choose a university, the next steps ahead are relatively very easy lol, apart from the admissions itself and getting accepted, you just have to apply for the visa (again, super simple, just speak to Campus France India) You’re all set wooo

Hello how are you? Firstly are you from Lebanon? And secondly, did you find any public or cheap private university in english in France?

All depends on the Universities required and also which course you are applying course For eg: if you are studying for fashion they colleges don't really see your score admission depends on your Portfolio they just require your 12th transcript and minimum ielts score is 6 but probably depends on the college just go check through the college website and fill up all there requirements

such a good question!! I would honestly say if you find a good bachelors degree in India (or wherever you are), first complete your UG there and then head to France for masters...this is IF you have to chose between the two! A masters degree is more appreciated when looking for a job and masters degrees in French universities are ranked higher globally than their bachelors

Yepp!! All the recognized master level business courses do have a minimum requirement of work experience needed to apply for the program! Also, it’s way better if you head into a masters with experience rather than jumping into it directly!

@@KaranPunjabi okay ..thankyou 😊

Hey, thanks for that, appreciate it! As far as I am aware, JEE Main is not recognized in France, that being said, it’s only going to “strengthen” your profile IF the university you’re interested in specifies so...I doubt this will be the case as I do not see any resources in France even merely mentioning JEE on their websites. So yes your 12th grades coupled with IELTS scores should be adequate to receive an offer from an Engineering UG in France!

@@KaranPunjabi Thanks dude! Much love! ❤

Hey Alex! Yep, as I’m doing a Business program , I mentioned it in the every beginning of the video as most information that i’ve spoken of is pertaining to it. Business programs don’t require any additional exams at a undergraduate level as MBA degrees require GRE/GMAT. There will always be an exception of a few universities requiring SAT but I spoke about it more generally haha! Regarding not speaking about the tuition fee, I initially filmed it as a part of this video but realized it’s not fair to talk about it as there’s a wide gap between fees for undergraduate and master programs in France. They can go anywhere upto €70000 for a masters, hence, might cover that in a future video! Wanted to keep this one more generalized and basic. Thank you so much, I’m glad you like it 🥰

1. there are several opportunities available with a bachelors degree, you can even do a part-time job during your course, if you wish to continue staying in France, start applying for jobs before your program ends. Masters are comparatively much more expensive compared to bachelors. 2. Germany for engineering and technology related courses. Switzerland for hospitality, business, and services. Spain has some superb universities for all fields too. (These are my personal preferences that I considered when choosing France) 3. Very honestly, you’re too young to be stressing from now on...just focus on acing your ICSEs, participate in extracurricular activities. If you’re considering any European country, the best practice you can do is start learning the language from now, can’t stress enough on howwww much it helps during uni and tbh for your whole life!

@@KaranPunjabi Thank you so much!!! Thats great advice, I have started learning german and I just look these up for motivation, to materialize the goal.. But at the same time we have been drilled with the idea that we can never score enough and that plays a lot on my mental health. So just for closure can you tell the approximate percentage I would need to get into a college which is in the world top 100 or 150 in france and germany. But really thank you so very much, u dont know how much this has helped me!!!

Hey, I checked the websites of the two French universities you mentioned. Firstly, there isn’t a particular subject requirement for students coming from abroad. This means that even someone with a accounts background would be considered. However, math seems like a compulsion as it is an important part throughout the 3 years of an undergrad in Computer science. So Yes I think your brother is 100% fine if he skips on chemistry, for example. In Ecole Polytechnique, students can choose math + physics/CS/economics in year 2 and 3. It even specifies that “math is at the centre of the program”. programmes.polytechnique.edu/en/bachelor/bachelor-of-science All the best!

so yeah even if he lets go of Physics and chemistry, i’d suggest he always keeps that math running!!

I’m guessing you’re applying for a program that’s in French right? not English? which university, course?

very honestly, I’m not sure yet! Atleast for a few years before I decide to move elsewhere! Ummm it’s not “difficult” per say, it depends on a variety of factors, good idea to apply for jobs well in advance and try multiple positions rather than applying to just 2/3 openings! Also, depends on language requirements and qualifications, they’re always looking for dynamic work experience.

Karan Punjabi Thankyou so much bro .. love your vlogging idea . Keep updating

Depends on where you are in France, there are varied opportunities and additionally, your university needs to agree for you to work. It’s not “hard” but can take a lot of time, interviews, and online applications to find a part-time job so it’s good to start searching well in advance.

Bro that depends on the kind of university you are applying for.. like if you go for top universities cut offs are higher...

Yes! There’s a treaty between India and France that entitles Indians to stay back for up-to 2 years to actively look for a job!

I think that is possible for Master students only?

I thought this at first too but turns out it’s applicable for both, bachelors and masters!

@@KaranPunjabi last query… I’ll be studying Bachelor’s in International Management in France, will I still be eligible to stayback in France for 2 yrs to look for a job???

Yes! I’m guessing your bachelor’s duration will be 3 years. According to what the rule says absolutely yes!

Mohd Sameer I don’t know much about medical courses in France....here’s a link that might help www.jagvimal.com/mbbs-in-france.html

@@KaranPunjabi Thanks ... 👍

Merit based!

@@KaranPunjabi thanks 😊

Salut Siddharth! 1) Your minimum requirements while applying for an engineering course will remain the same in whichever university you apply to (TOEFL+Grade 12 results). Furthermore, depending on which exact field of engineering you are interested in, the requirements may differ slightly in regards to a minimum grade you have to achieve (in CBSE) to apply for that particular program. (Example: Physics might be a must to study Aeronautical engineering). So yeah, as long as you have your CBSE results and have given the TOEFL/IELTS, you are good to go ahead with your university application. As you mention, you have studied French in CBSE at a basic level, you will have to give an additional French exam, such as the DELF, only IF the engineering program is conducted in the French language. I found this video for you that covers more info about engineering programs in France: www.campusfrance.org/en/engineering-studies-in-france 2) There are a variety of scholarships offered by the universities, governments, and companies for most universities. To get a scholarship, you can fill out your university's scholarship form or go to their website's scholarship page. The university will help you directly regarding scholarships. Another common way of getting a scholarship to study in France is by applying at your local French embassy. Visit campusfrance.org, it's the best way to go ahead with your applications with their help and resources. 3) As I have mentioned in the video, you are required to send in an application fee along with your mark sheets, passport copy, and English proficiency results. If you pass the first step, the university will conduct an interview where they will try to know more about you. You may also be asked to write a motivational essay or submit a portfolio depending on which university you are applying to. Once you have been accepted in the institute, you have to use your acceptance letter and apply for a French student visa THROUGH Campus France. You cannot apply at the visa office directly as you normally would for a tourist visa. PS: Grenoble is a great place to study Engineering in France, make sure you check it out. Hope this helps! All the best!

Thanks ☺

hi, did u get into skema if so id please like to have a chat w you.

Hey! That is not true, masters degrees are not free in France...Yes not only Indians but any student that has completed their masters degree in France can extend their visa for upto ONE year!

only public universities have free Masters

Yes!! Since Bachelors programs are mostly 3 years in France too, they do accept and recognize international bachelor degrees as equivalent coz both are the same duration...

Can you plz share your Uni/college details and fees.

Here are some very affordable (yet top-ranked) universities in France for Bachelors: University of Paris (u-paris.fr/les-chiffres-cles/) University of Orleans (www.univ-orleans.fr/fr) University de Montpellier ( www.umontpellier.fr) University of Strasbourg (en.unistra.fr/) University of Burgundy, École Normale Supérieure Paris, École Centrale de Lyon. The tuition fees for these range from as low as €180 a year to €2500 a year and most of them have multiple courses in English

Yeah you probably want to look at state funded universities and not private universities .

Yes!! A lot of people apply to universities during the final months of grade 12! The university will give you a conditional offer. This means that as soon as your results are out, you have to send your mark-sheets to the university. If you meet the grades agreed upon, you will be admitted into the university right there.

I am no expert regarding IELTS but I believe that they are conducting a few exams online at the moment. If not, you can write a letter along with your application saying that you do not have access to the exams because of the pandemic. Universities are well aware of the current scenario and many have even altered their admission requirements or will help candidates through the process. If you want to know more about IELTS, go to their website and call up your local centers to ask when you can give the exam at the earliest. Hope this helps.

I did not use a consultant personally...I feel like most information is easily accessible online and they overcharge for absolutely no reason!! If you’re confused about which university you want to go to though, a counselor might be a good idea!!

fuckable ig

that rule only applies for UK and EU students haha! honestly I wish it was for everyone...
