National Institute of Applied Sciences of Lyon INSA

key documents you’ll need to apply to INSA Lyon for a bachelor’s degree program (especially the 5?year engineer cycle, first year entry):

Secondary-school diploma and transcripts
You must provide the official high-school diploma (e.g. Indian Class XII, IB, A?levels, French baccalauréat) plus full transcripts for the last 2–3 years. Marks in key science subjects—especially mathematics, physics, chemistry, or computer science—carry significant weight.

Detailed grade records with averages and rankings
INSA looks closely at overall academic performance and relative position in your class. Transcripts should show term-wise scores and averages in science subjects, which admissions software compares within each applicant pool.

Curriculum vitae (CV)
A clear CV listing educational background, science/maths coursework, extracurriculars, leadership roles, internships or projects. Highlight any technical or STEM-related activities or competitions.

Motivation letter or statement of intent
A concise personal letter explaining why you chose INSA Lyon, your academic interests, motivation for engineering, and how your profile fits. Extra-curricular depth and personal ambition matter here.

Language proficiency evidence
IF your program is in English: provide proof of English proficiency (e.g. IELTS 7–8, TOEFL iBT?>?100, TOEIC?880, PTE Level 4). French level is not required but can strengthen your profile.

Passport or national ID
International applicants must submit a copy of their passport (first page and personal data page). This is needed later for visa, enrolment formalities, and identification purposes.
