Most significantly, one MoU signed between France and India now mutually recognizes educational qualifications between both countries. Students graduating from Indian institutions will thus be eligible for further education in France, and vice versa.
Additionally, a Franco-Indian Trust will offer even more scholarships and merit-based financial support provided to Indian students who wish to study in France.
The Knowledge Summit is an essential step toward the goal set by the French Government to attract 10,000 students to France by 2020.
