The Charpak scholarship program is run by the French Embassy in India. It offers three types of funding:

This program is designed for exchange students for a period of one to four months (duration of an academic semester) at the Bachelor’s or Master’s degree level.

·          The Master’s program
This program is designed for one to two years of studies in France at the Master’s degree level

Your application will be selected on the basis of your excellent academic record
to date, as well as the consistency and quality of your statement of purpose. Knowledge of French will be an asset. For master’s scholarship applicants, a tie-up between your current Indian institution and your future French Institution will also
be an asset. Fluency in writing and speaking English is mandatory.
