This video is gold! Not that we need to write more about it, we must. Grandes Ecoles are basically the elite institutions in France or the great schools as we understand it. These institutions are known for their reputation in regards to highly selective admission criteria and academic excellence. Grandes Ecoles of France can be compared to the Ivy’s of the US, or Russell Group institutions of the UK. There are around 250 Grandes Ecoles in all of France and offer excellent courses and international degrees on subjects like Engineering, Management, Architecture, Political science, Journalism, Art & design, Defence and Veterinary medicines, Economics and commerce as well. Some of the top Grandes Ecoles of France are: Ecole Polytechnique for Science and Technology Ecole Normale Supérieure, Ecole Nationale d’Administration Hautes Etudes Commerciales or HEC EDHEC Ecole de Mines Ecole Centrale etc.

The pic shall be enough! Still wanna read more? Alright! Simply put, in the French education system, M1 refers to the 1st year programme or fundamentals. Whereas, the M2 refers to the final or the specialisation year. Basically, international students who have a 3 year bachelors, they would go for a M1 master of 2 years (irrespective of their work experience). And international students who already have a 4 year bachelors, they can directly go for M2 (1 year specialisation masters). And this rule is applicable only for MSc programmes across France not for MIM, MBA, EMBA etc. Still wanna know more? Why.

The Noobs! What is the difference between a teenager and an adult? Okay this may not be the perfect simile but you would know the difference between an Under 19 cricketer and a National team player? Of course you know it.. Pretty similar on the lines, is the difference between Interns/Apprentices and full time employees! But then this article tells you the difference between Interns and Apprentices, there you go: Basically internships are jobs offered by companies for a shorter duration of 1 month or 6 months at maximum. Apprenticeship programmes are way different. They are not only longer in duration but have to be attended simultaneously with ongoing studies at concerned universities. The company pays the tuition fees of the university on behalf of the employee during an apprenticeship programme whereas it is not true in case of internships. After completion of internship, the employee can start with another one, or can be offered a full time job by the concerned employer/company, depending upon his/her performance. But in the case of apprenticeship programmes, the students directly land jobs after completion of the programme. The pay scale of internships are generally low as compared to apprenticeship, where one gets high wages with full time employment after completion. And it's absolutely true that getting offers of apprenticeship programmes are a lot competitive and difficult when compared to internships. Still got doubts? Rare! But let's connect you with our counselors then!

In Top 10 student destinations Stay Back Visa! Ah, the visa we yearn for and probably the most decisive factor when it comes to studying abroad! Well, there is a small difference between a stay back and a work visa. The former does allow you to search a job but as soon as you find the job you need to convert that into a work permit. Note: Its for those who study abroad! Not their spouses, dependants or job seekers directly. This is subject to change or vary as per respective country's rules, hence the best update you can get it is always from the Embassies, and then of course Edvisory! So let's see who offers what: USA: 1 year for Non STEM, 3 years for STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Math) Canada: 3 years UK: 2 years Ireland: 2 years France: 2 years Germany: 1.5 years Switzerland: 06 months Australia: 3 years New Zealand: 1 year Netherlands: 1 year Notable Mention: Scandinavian countries offer up to 1 year of stay back visa to Indian students Visas often depend on multiple factors like duration of program, accreditations, university validation, target jobs etc. Therefore we strongly recommend to connect with schools/Embassies before making a decision. At Edvisory we believe, Visa is a privilege and not a right!

Quora Post I will start with the class profile of IIM Ahmedabad. This is the work experience chart of incoming students. It’s not at all important to have work experience yet it may help in many cases. Most of the students as you can see have at least 1–2 years of work ex and up to 25% of them are fresh grads. This implies, almost half of the class is under 2 years of work experience. So not at all mandatory to have a professional work ex if you don’t have it. Although you may always highlight following during your interview: Internships (if any) Professional projects during school/undergrad (if any) Extra curricular social work (if any) This will always strengthen your profile. Wish you luck.
