Jaipur has its own French visa application centre, which spares Rajasthan applicants a trip to Delhi at the visa stage, but it opens only two days a week. Here is how an AI2 application from Jaipur fits around Campus France’s Delhi office and the local VFS calendar.
AI2 – Applied Institute of Artificial Intelligence is an applied AI school on the Écouen campus, 22 minutes from Paris Gare du Nord. Its programmes are taught in English and lead to French qualifications registered at bachelor’s and master’s level.
Applying from Jaipur: what is specific to you
Campus France: a Rajasthan desk in New Delhi
There is no Campus France office in Rajasthan. Applicants from the state are looked after by a manager in the New Delhi office, which is responsible for Rajasthan specifically. You submit your Études en France file online and pay the fee only through the link the official platform sends once your file is validated. The Delhi office operates from the Alliance Française de Delhi in Lodhi Estate and from the French Institute in India, so ask your manager at the outset whether the interview will mean a journey to the capital.
The Malviya Nagar visa centre
The VFS Global centre for France sits on the 7th floor of World Trade Park, D-Block, Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg, Malviya Nagar. According to France-Visas in October 2026, it receives applications on Tuesdays and Fridays only, by appointment, and hands back passports on those same days without an appointment. If no Jaipur date suits you, the Delhi centre takes applications every weekday, and France-Visas allows you to apply wherever you prefer.
Jaipur’s technical institutions and industry
Malaviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT) Jaipur has a Computer Science and Engineering department and, since July 2024, a department of Artificial Intelligence & Data Engineering. The LNM Institute of Information Technology (LNMIIT), on the city’s outskirts, has departments of Computer Science and Engineering and of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. On the industrial side, Mahindra World City Jaipur is a special economic zone developed jointly by the Mahindra Group and RIICO, the Rajasthan state industrial corporation, and includes an IT zone. A bachelor’s in one of these related fields opens the MSc Applied AI in Data Science, Cybersecurity or IoT.
Flights
Jaipur International Airport (JAI) is your departure point, usually with a connection. Air France’s 2026 schedule shows extra capacity on its Paris services from Delhi and Mumbai, both reachable from Jaipur.
