I am very happy to receive all your doubts and questions regarding "Studying in Germany".

I completely understand your situation, because 2 years back I was also like you. Do not hesitate to comment your questions and doubt, I will do my level best to clarify it.

      Embedded Systems course is good. You have lot of options in fields like Image processing, RTS, EDA, Networking, etc., Since it is a "technical university", there are many research opportunities as well.

      I would suggest not to worry about job opportunities at this stage.

      Hello Saransh,
      My knowledge is limited in the field of Medicine. As far as I know, most of the medical courses are in German language and I suggest you to approach DAAD office in your city for further details, because they will have a better understanding and can help you a lot more.

      All the best for your career

      Hello,

      Pursuing a Masters studies will always be "worthy", if you're sincere and have a real passion towards the subject/field. I have to warn you that, doing Masters isn't a piece of cake; you have to struggle hard and face many difficulties in terms.

      Regarding the job prospects in Germany, kindly have a look at this article:

      Hello Yamini,

      The below answer is completely according to my experiences and observations, also the choices are my personal opinions.

      Between Jena & Magdeburg, I would prefer Magdeburg. If you get the other two courses, then I would choose TU Chemnitz(I am from TUC). I know more about the Embedded Systems course in TU Chemnitz and I feel it is good, considering all the other aspects.

      I have limited knowledge about Rostock.

      Hello Vasudha,

      In reality, no one knows whether the university will consider GRE is the CGPA is low and there is no proof for that statement.

      I suggest you to go through the course modules and subjects, check out the opportunities and then if you're still determined to join that course, then give GRE. Because, if you really want that particular course, then you need to give your best shot at it.

      P.S: This is just my personal opinion. The final decision is with you

      You can apply to universities, but I doubt about the Scholarships. Because, the scholarships need 'excellent' marks/grades. Also, since the German universities aren't going to cost you a lot, many students study without Scholarships

When you analyse these doubts, we can clearly understand that these "Prospective students" wants someone to tell them that, the decision that they have made is right and their "investment" in Germany will be worth it.  Image source: Google I have been staying in Germany for 2 years and I have helped so many students over the years and these questions have never changed.

Let me throw some light on the analysis that I had done, based on my experience in Germany(Masters studies) and my observations from my friends who are studying in Singapore.
