Campus France in Mumbai
Campus France Centre
Alliance Française de Bombay
40 New Marine Lines, Mumbai 400020
This is where Mumbai students attend their Campus France interview after completing the online Etudes en France process. StudyFrance provides thorough mock interview preparation before your appointment.
Paris is Europe's finance capital and the global headquarters of luxury brands (LVMH, Kering, Hermès, L'Oréal). For Mumbai students in finance and business, France offers what London and New York do — at significantly lower tuition. HEC Paris, ESSEC, and ESCP rival any Ivy League business school at a fraction of the cost.
Interview Tips
Mumbai students often have strong finance/commerce backgrounds — leverage this in your interview.
Mention specific business schools and why their finance or luxury programmes attract you.
Be ready to discuss Paris as Europe's finance capital — show you understand the career landscape.
If applying for MBA/management, explain what you will bring to the classroom from India.
Dress professionally and arrive early — the Mumbai centre can be busy.
