Ask Sétu and the Generative AI Advantage

Pursuing higher education in a foreign country is a life-changing decision. For Indian students looking to study in France, the journey is filled with not just excitement, and opportunities but also challenges. AI is emerging as a critical tool to bridge the skills gap, streamline learning, and provide personalised guidance. From choosing the right courses to developing job-ready skills, Ask Sétu is gearing up to make it easier for Indian students to pursue higher education in France

Students will be able to navigate the complex processes of admissions, visa applications, and career planning more efficiently. Ask Sétu is not just a tool — it is a bridge that enhances the transition to higher education by providing tailored guidance, streamlining administrative processes, and ensuring that students have the skills they need to succeed.

🌍 Navigating the Complexity of Higher Education

One of the biggest challenges for international students is navigating the maze of application processes, visa requirements, and academic prerequisites. France’s higher education system, though renowned for its quality, can be difficult for non-European students to fully understand. Ask Sétu aims to simplify this complexity by providing students with step-by-step guidance on how to apply to French universities and manage the administrative hurdles that come with studying abroad.

The French Artificial Intelligence Commission emphasises that AI can enhance public services and improve the quality of education by providing individualised support​. Ask Sétu’s AI system uses this principle to offer students personalised recommendations based on their requirements.

Applying to multiple universities can be a time-consuming process, especially when each institution has different requirements and timelines. AI can simplify this by analysing a student’s profile and matching them with universities and programs that align with their goals. Whether it’s finding the right master’s program in engineering or identifying scholarships, AI tools can sort through vast amounts of data to present students with the best options.

For Indian students in particular, Ask Sétu’s AI-powered system can offer tailored insights into universities that cater to specific academic backgrounds. This level of personalisation allows students to focus their efforts on institutions where they have the highest chance of success. Furthermore, the platform provides detailed insights into administrative processes, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the logistical side of studying in France.

One of the most significant contributions of AI to education is its ability to forecast future job market trends. AI systems analyse massive amounts of data to identify high-demand industries and emerging career paths. This allows students to make more informed decisions about their studies, ensuring they acquire skills that are aligned with the future of work.

Students will be able to use Ask Sétu to access AI-driven insights on which sectors in France are experiencing growth, such as data science, AI engineering, and green technologies.

AI can also help in connecting students to global networks of mentors, educators, and peers. Ask Sétu’s AI system will match students with mentors who can guide them through both academic and cultural challenges. This personal support is crucial for students adjusting to a new environment, helping them feel more connected and supported.

As an AI-powered platform, Ask Sétu will also ensure that learning doesn’t stop once a student graduates. With lifelong learning becoming a necessity in today’s fast-changing job market, students can continue to access AI-generated resources, from career advice to advanced courses, long after they’ve completed their degrees.
