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. ua-cam.com/video/ImNrjWvoVbs/v-deo.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...
This is really helpful as you've covered almost all the important factors. Thanks!
we STAN an informative sister !!!!!!! loved the video
Are you serious? You've helped me so much.. so much!!! I really appreciate you.. really.. thank you so much🥺 may god bless u and may u have millions of subscribers 🥺❤️
hahahah thank you so much Elle! 🥰

Very informative! Will have Myrah watch this too. Loved it Karan!!!
What an amazing and enriching opportunity! I live in the US and am a nursing major with less than a year from graduating, but I wish I had known about these opportunities earlier on. Good luck in school and stay safe during the pandemic, Karan!
Thank you Sophia! Wishing you the best for your graduation year! 🥰
Best informative video for students....... Thanks for sharing your experience.
Watching this video was really fun! ✨

Great Video!!! I want to go to France to study French and this was very helpful.
Love the video
I love your content its so informative
Thank you! 🥰
Refreshing and informative! Thanks for sharing. Could you tell me about possibilities of finding a job while studying there?
I am waiting for this video
Hey man just finished 12th and im planning for a ug in france...and is it tough to get into a good uni ?
helloo just wondering when do admissions usually open? For example I want to apply for school year 2021-2022, do they open admissions around this time or they do it the same year?
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 Karan, I'm in 11th grade right now. I would love it if you could make a video walking through the procedures for studying in France with timeline and stuff.
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
Ok, I want to make sure: how do people afford housing and food while studying in France?
Please make a video on what kind of courses are popular in the country. Also your last video was pretty fun, so please make more videos of that kind🙌
coming up 🤪😉
@@KaranPunjabi please make that video
Hey bhaiya , I am in class 11 , I am too planning to go for a ug program ....but if you could suggest whether I should my master's there or head straight out after cl 12 .. appreciate your videos
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
Amazing video
You motivated me in thinking to study in France
Main objective is to enjoy the life in France tho
Greetings, I would like to apply to one of the university but i really dont know when is the right time for applying can you help?
You are in which university ?
What is the tuition fee of your university ?
And
Is it affordable ?
Hey Karan!!! Great vid!! Can you share your journey learning french!!? I want to learn french, but a bit confused as to how to go about it.
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!!!
Good informative video bro👏👏. Is possible to withdraw show money from the bank account after getting the study visa?
thank you! yes it is
Can you please suggest me any low budget university for French language in France
Hey, I was wondering if it’s allowed to do freelance work rather than taking up a part time job on a student visa?
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

Hey karan, you are amazing ,keep it going❤️. Just wanted to know your tution fee or approx tution fee for UG. thanks stay safe❤️
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.
Hey I know I’m late but I want to study there around July of 2023 but not sure when I should start applying could you let me know ?
It begins in late August/September, usually you can begin applying in March up till July
Brother I want to apply for master program. Which universities in France with high acceptance rate and secondly which places should I choose .cheap places. Thanks
Hey karan your video was so informative thank you so much!!! Im planning to study digital arts and design in france and I've completed 3yrs mass media BMM and currently taking a course on advfx could you please help me what next steps should I take ?
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
How much percentage is required in 12th to get admission in France in public universities ?
I have 6.5 not less thn 6 in ielts
But ik 12th i have 60% im state board and i i want to come for bachelor ?
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
Can we survive in france with part time jobs ?
He's so adorable
What about getting citizenship!! What are the steps towards it
Hey karan! Are the universities merti based or entrance exam based over there
Merit based!
@@KaranPunjabi thanks 😊
Hey Karan... Your video is simply great..
Thankyou for guiding..
I have one teeny-tiny Query, If you can help out.
My Younger Brother is done with '10th Boards' recently in (2021). He is entering in '11th', and crazy about doing 'Bachelors in Computers Science' (CS) from PSL University (France) or Ecole Polytechnique (France) or MIT (USA), after '12th'.
So, for (CS) is it necessary to have Science Subjects (PCM) in 11th and 12th, or can he opt out of a certain subject (Say Chemistry) and still go ahead with (English, Maths, Physics, Computers, etc.) and still be good to be eligible to be accepted there..?
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!!
Great video! A fellow mumbaikar! :)

Hello sir,
I wanted to know that is work experience necessary for MBA in france? Because I recently got to know that its mandatory. I am going to complete my bachelors next year and was thinking to further pursue MBA directly but now I am confused.
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 😊
625 euros OMFG that's not cheap it's like approx 52k per month for just living😳
can plz suggest me a university to study medicine in english language ....it's really important I'm so so confused

My question is i have heard that their is no tution fees in france for doing masters..is it right also french govt is allowing 2yrs stay back for indian students...kindly please reply
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
Hi bro
What about hospitality industry?
Hey Karan, 👋 this was so helpful and you've already cleared a thousands of my doubts! But I would like to ask a few couple of things like clearingJEE Main would somewhat help me in making my profile strong? And just 12th grades along with IELTS would be enough to apply for a engineering university for UG!?
P.S: I am in 12th right now!
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! ❤
I want to study bba in france, so is it compulsory to study maths in 11th and 12th commerce to choose this program?
Nope, it’s not compulsory. BBA programs usually include 1-2 semesters of Statistics, however, they do not ask for maths in 11th and 12th as a compulsion.
@@KaranPunjabi Thank you so much.

I am from india and studying undergraduate law Course.
So could you please let me know as what is the possibility to get admission in masters in law. And also about the job prospects after studies there.
so would B2 in DELF be enough for France especially design / art related fields ?
Hlw I recently got overall 5.5 in ielts but I completed bachelor in management . If I am interested how can I apply
R u doing bachelors?
Video is pretty cool. BUT pls do not add any background music or at least reduce its volume!!! Everything else is great 👍
I wanna come there but i want to know if i can work and school the same time and is it easy to get a job there
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.
12th result and IELTS are enough for admission ?? i mean for germany you need to do extra schoiolling year. also if you didnt talk about tution fees . beside all you are doing great job. God bless you
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 🥰
Do you use consultants when applying???
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!!
Hi. Karan! Thanks for posting this. considering stuying in Frace but was super worried about the tuition fee. I am french but never lived in France or studied there so when i saw 6,000 euros tuition fee it scared me. Could you advise me on some unis to look at that have courses in English for Bachelor degree? I would appreciate it SOOOO MUCHHHH Thanks!
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 .
great enery
How to apply for master in biotech ,
Hi Karan,
I am planning to do my Masters in France and I am also appearing for DELF exams,(B1) upto which level I should study??? Pls throw some light on this 🙏
I’m guessing you’re applying for a program that’s in French right? not English? which university, course?
Brother i m from bcom background and i want to study and get a job and also want to play football for local teams and i belong to middle class
Hey Karan l is Nios valid for study in France
Sir my 12 percentage is 68% in science background can I get addmition in a good college in France.????
Bro that depends on the kind of university you are applying for.. like if you go for top universities cut offs are higher...
Are you planning to stay in France or going to come back after completing your study ? How much difficult to it to settle down after completing study
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
when does the first semester usually start for undergraduate?
Late August - mid September

Is this worth studying in France admist the corona situation? I'm admitted to a business school in grenoble and I'm just worried that the job situation will be bad after this situation help me out if you could
Hey Sakshi! France has been under strict lockdown since almost two months now. Most international students, including me and my friends, headed back to their home countries considering the unlikeliness of the coronavirus situation. All our classes and final exams have been moved online and we are expected to begin a new semester in September, as we normally would.
If you have been accepted into your university for the programme starting in September, the situation will not affect your studies unless the coronavirus situation blows out of proportion. If you are already attending university in Grenoble and are worried about getting job offers post graduating, all I can say is that the current scenario is a bit foggy. As the corona storm passes, the market is expected to be a bit slower than usual but overtime, everything is expected to fall back to normal...Not only in France but even the rest of the world for that matter. On the other hand, a lot of candidates are considering this time as a great opportunity to apply for jobs, I think you should get on LinkedIn and send across your resumé to companies of your interest.
I found this article that might help you:
www.thelocal.fr/20200422/coronavirus-over-10-million-french-workers-place-on-partial-unemployment
By the word "admitted", I was not entirely sure if you are already attending university or have taken admission and plan to begin, hence, I answered both! Hope it helps haha!
Thanks for the clarification , I've been accepted for the September intake
Thanks for taking time and replying really sweet of you
my pleasure!! in that case, you don’t really need to worry about moving to Grenoble unless corona gets worse 🥴
Can a International Student studying their bachelor’s degree in business stay back in france to look for a job?
Basically, how much time can you request for to look for a job in france after completing your bachelor’s?
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!
Can i apply in colleges while studying in 12th? Also I'm curious about current situation because I'm not able to give IELTS because of corona virus so how can i apply? Plz reply it's really important
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 just got my 12th Result. I want to go to France.
Hey
I am about to start my masters in data science atUniversité Côte d'Azur, in Nice from September2020 .Any recommendations for finding cheap accommodation.?
Hey! That's lovely!
Check out these websites for affordable student accommodation options in Nice:
www.nexity-studea.com
www.estudines.com
www.fac-habitat.com/en/
www.student-factory.com/en
housinganywhere.com
Many of the apartments on these websites are close to Université Côte d'Azur!
Best way to find cheap accommodation is to ask your 1) your university's international office or 2) get on facebook groups/Instagram and get in touch with students that are currently studying in the university/are graduating this year. These students can help you with landlords and rental agencies contacts that are harder to find on the internet. Rental costs in Nice mainly depend on the area the apartment is in and wether the building has facilities such as an elevator/heating, etc.
Another tip I can give you is to join the Facebook group "English Speakers on the French Riviera", write a post here saying you're looking for an apartment (along with your monthly budget) and many people will reach out to you directly!
You're going to love Nice! Looking forward to seeing you around! À bientôt!

I am just confused btw Canada and France! Needya help man! Btw thanks for the vid really informative and resourceful!! Love and support.
Yes! I believe they are accepting student visas for January...start getting all your paperwork ready coz the visa offices do not operate most of December.
There are no specializations, the course is like any other BBA/BBM program-covers a wide range of fields like accounting, HR, operations, etc.
I was in the same position hahah! I was considering Canada tooo..however, I didn’t find it as exciting as France in terms of experience. I wanted an experience that was very different from being in an English speaking country! However, in Canada the plus side is that it’s easier to gain citizenship
