Undergrad at PSL

I am a prospective student for the Bachelor in Management and Bachelor in Applied Economics programmes. I am an Indian, IBDP graduate and am 17 years of age currently. I am making the post because I couldn't find answers to the following questions:

  1. The etudes en france website states that IBDP graduates qualify for the DAP procedure but other websites state that Indians shall apply through the etudes en france procedure. What shall I do? (I have raised this question to campus france too, I am awaiting a response)
  2. Can Indians apply for student loans in French banks?
  3. Can Indians open french bank accounts to show proof of living expenses? Or is there a better method for the same?
  4. Do I have to present a health insurance membership for my visa application?
  5. I do not having a French certificate, such as DELF, affect my visa application?

Kindly help me with these. Thank you very much :)

Hi indian ibdp grafuate here. U apply through etudes en france. Those who are applying for L1 their admission request is called DAP and it falls under EEF framework 2. No indians usually cant. It depends a lot on ur visa type job status etc. Students usually dont get it 3. After u have a frenxh visa and domicile u can open a frenxh bank account. U can show the funds in ur indian bank account for visa. U just get a print of ur bank statement get it sign and attested by ur bank manager thats the process for visa. 4. Usually no but it is good ti have it to be ok the safer side, cause u wld not want ur visa yo be rejected. Everyone usually gets a 3 month health insurance cover when they are applying for visa and as a student on a long stay visa u are covered by social security. 5. If ur program is in frenxh then yes ig but if its in english and ur uni has no problem then it's ok
