FAQs
The only scholarship offered by the Govt is the Charpak Scholarship which amounts to around 700 Euros per month. It refunds your travel and also sponsors your Visa. There is no other scholarship offered, neither by INSA nor by the French Govt. However, a couple of years back there was an extra option alongside Charpak where only VISA and some other things were sponsored.
- You need to pay for your own food, though. Only lunch is offered in the mess, at roughly 3 Euros for a Non-Veg meal. Breakfast and Dinner you are supposed to arrange or cook on your own.
- Free accommodation on campus. Single bed with a common kitchen is offered, paperwork for which comes along with your acceptance letter. You need to pay around 300 Euros in security, which is refunded later on.
- Generally, if you travel a lot, your total expense can be around 2.5L. Although normally you should be able to manage within 1.5L.
It’s mostly very flexible and not very intense. If you fail a course, you can take it again. Most courses are Pass/Fail. There mostly aren’t any attendance policies and you can study a few days before exams and get by.
It’s generally sensible to do DEs and OEs, as these are easier to get passed. EE, MnC, Mech departments, for instance, would not pass core courses you did there. Do update yourself on the curriculum and courses before going as these can change.
Courses were in French, but some were also entirely taught in English. Generally only undergraduate-level courses tend to be in French.
- Do make sure you plan your curriculum before going there. If you don’t, you can generally suffer in terms of credits. You rarely get as many as you apply for eg: someone applied for 20 and secured 14.5.
- Learn a little French beforehand in India. Would be extremely helpful.
