Alumni Stories


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Neha R.

MPA Public Affairs, Sciences Po Paris (2024 intake)
Paris

“Sciences Po is elite — low Indian representation made me hesitate. Kadamb specifically targeted Emile Boutmy Scholarship (for international applicants). Won EUR 19,000/year + tuition. Paris rent EUR 900/month solo, challenging but scholarship covers it. Interning at OECD Paris now, considering World Bank after graduation. Kadamb’s French academic pedigree strategy paid off.”

✨ Key signal: Emile Boutmy EUR 19K scholarship won



⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Karthik S.

MiM, HEC Paris (2023 intake)
Paris

“HEC Paris is #3 business school in Europe. Tuition ₹40 lakh for 16-month program. Kadamb coached me through HEC Excellence Scholarship (EUR 14,000-21,000) + Eiffel Excellence (EUR 1,181/month). Combined: 40% cost reduction. Currently at BCG Paris, EUR 110K starting. HEC → BCG is textbook — Kadamb knew the exact pathway.”

✨ Key signal: HEC + Eiffel stack → BCG Paris EUR 110K



⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Priyanka M.

M.Sc. Data Science, Grenoble INP (2022 intake, Charpak Scholar)
Grenoble

“Grenoble is engineering hub — HP, STMicroelectronics, Schneider Electric. Won Charpak Scholarship EUR 8,000 + housing subsidy. Campus France made visa smooth. Interning at STMicroelectronics on semiconductor design. French language learning required — took Alliance Française B1 in Ahmedabad before departure (Kadamb’s recommendation).”

✨ Key signal: Charpak scholarship + STMicro internship



⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rahul B.

Currently at L’Oreal Paris as Brand Manager EUR 55K. French luxury goods sector is Indian-friendly for bi-cultural talent.”

Anjali N.

M.Sc. Environmental Engineering, INSA Lyon (2024 intake)
Lyon

“Lyon is France’s 2nd city — more affordable than Paris (EUR 850/month living vs EUR 1,400). INSA Lyon is grande école engineering. Got Eiffel Excellence EUR 1,181/month covering 90% living costs. Strong water engineering research, interning at Veolia Lyon. Lyon Indian community smaller but supportive.”

✨ Key signal: Lyon/INSA budget-friendly alternative to Paris
