By Sangeeth Sebastian UPDATED: 04:27 EST, 31 January 2012 Ever dreamed of enrolling at an international university in less than half an hour? Drop in at the French Embassy, Shanti Path, this weekend, and you could be the lucky one. The two-day Campus France Admission Tour 2012 opens on Saturday with the promise to offer admission to the brightest students in just 20 minutes - and the good news is that knowledge of French is not mandatory to make the grade. Campus France is a public policy initiative of the French government to promote higher education abroad and the Admission Tour 2012 will see as many as 25 top French institutions hitting the road (from Delhi they'll got to Bangalore and Mumbai) to spot the right candidates and make admission offers to them.
