French Institute in India will conduct education fairs across India from 8 to 15 October 2023. These would highlight higher education opportunities in France for Indian students.
Education fair ‘Choose France Tour 2023’ would start on 8 October 2023 in Chennai. After this, the education fair highlighting higher education opportunities in France will take place in Kolkata on 11 October 2023, say sources from French Institute in India.
These fairs are being organized by French Institute in India, the educational, cultural, and scientific wing of the Embassy of France in India, in collaboration with Campus France, the French government sector that provides support and counselling to international students seeking to pursue higher studies in the country.
Students will be able to receive free counselling sessions from the campus France staff and information regarding scholarships, visa opportunities and student life in France, say sources from French Institute in India.
Information and collaboration
Students will have a chance to get first-hand information from representatives of 48 leading universities, Grandes Ecoles, and colleges about the programmes they can attend, say sources from French Institute in India.
These programmes span a wide range of fields, including management, engineering, hospitality, humanities, arts, architecture, and design.
The Choose France Tour 2023 will also be an opportunity for Indian and French educators and academicians to explore potential collaboration, say sources from French Institute in India.
Counselling
Students will be able to receive free counselling sessions from the campus France staff and information regarding scholarships, visa opportunities and student life in France.
The Alliance Française, too, will participate to give crucial information and guidance to young students about the relevance of learning the French language, both in France and India, say sources from French Institute in India.
Country Director of French Institute in India
Elaborating on France’s measures to boost student mobility from India, Mr Emmanuel Lebrun-Damiens, Country Director of L’Institut Français en Inde (French Institute in India) said France and India have an agreement for the Mutual Recognition of Academic Qualifications, which eases admissions in each other’s institutions.
In addition to boosting student exchanges, the fairs will help Indian students explore practical ways for seeking job opportunities in France after graduating there, said Country Director of French Institute in India.
France, celebrated as a hub of cultural, academic, and scientific excellence, is unsurprisingly one of the world’s leading destinations for overseas education, say sources from French Institute in India.
The French government has launched a series of strategic initiatives to attract young Indian scholars to France for their higher education.
These measures, though not exhaustive, include significant tuition subsidies at public universities, robust support systems such as housing assistance and social benefits, enticing scholarship offers, and an expansive selection of over 1,600 programmes delivered entirely in English, say sources from French Institute in India.

Programmes 2026CBSE Shifts to Online Evaluation for Class 12 Exams; Short Preparation Time Sparks Concern Published at : 12 Feb 2026, 11:41 AM IST Updated at : 12 Feb 2026, 11:41 AM IST The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a transformative change in the evaluation of Class 12 board examinations by shifting to digital assessment through an On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, starting with the 2026 exams. This marks a significant modernization in the way answer scripts are assessed, aiming to bring efficiency, accuracy and broader teacher participation to the evaluation process. Under the new system, answer booklets for Class 12 will be scanned and evaluated digitally on computers rather than being manually transported and checked in conventional ways. The board says this will significantly cut down on totalling errors and reduce manual intervention in the evaluation process. Faster evaluation and quick result announcements are some of the key goals behind this shift. CBSE has made it clear that the change currently applies only to Class 12 board exams, and Class 10 answer books will continue to be marked manually for the 2026 session. This phased implementation is intended to help schools adapt gradually to the new system. Benefits of Digital EvaluationAccording to CBSE officials, the On-Screen Marking system comes with several expected benefits:
Improved Transparency: The system maintains a digital record of marks, annotations and examiner comments, which can reduce mismatches or errors in manual recordings. Wider Participation: Teachers affiliated to CBSE schools across India and abroad can participate in evaluations from their own institutions, reducing travel and logistical challenges. Environmental and Operational Gains: Less paper movement and reduced manpower for physical verification also contribute to sustainability and lower evaluation costs. Concerns Over Preparation TimeDespite the long-term advantages touted by CBSE, the move has not been welcomed without reservations. Several school principals and educators have expressed concerns about the limited time available to prepare for this transition as the board exams approach. With exams already scheduled to begin within weeks, schools must ensure they have adequate computers, reliable internet connectivity, stable power supply and trained evaluators ready to use the OSM platform effectively. Many schools, especially those in smaller towns and rural areas, fear they may struggle to meet these requirements in time, raising questions about readiness and fair implementation. Some educators worry that insufficient training of teachers in the new digital marking system could affect the quality and consistency of evaluations. Preparing for the ChangeTo support schools and teachers, CBSE has indicated plans to conduct dry runs, provide training sessions and release instructional resources. However, the extent to which these preparations will mitigate last-minute challenges remains to be seen. As CBSE moves forward with its digital agenda, the success of this shift will likely depend on how quickly schools can adapt and whether the board can effectively bridge the technological gap across its wide network of affiliated institutions.
