    1. 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.

    1. 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

    1. 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:

    1. 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.

    1. 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

    1. 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

Does it really take 100 applications to get an Internship?

There are so many Masters students in Germany, who apply for Internships, Werkstudent or Thesis in companies across Europe. But the one complaint that most of them tell is, it takes around 100 applications to get an internship/student position. Is that true? Should everyone struggle so much to get a student position at a company? I don’t think so and this article is about what I have experienced.  NOTE: Some of the readers may have a difference in opinion and I duly respect it. I am no career expert or counsellor, but I guess others can learn something from my experience I believe that most of you would have heard your friends and seniors telling that, it takes more than 100 applications to land in a student job. But, I would say that if you know to apply properly, then you will get the interview call-back easily and then, getting the position is based your performance in the interview.The problem with most of the students either doesn’t know where to look...

Which country is better? Germany VS Singapore | Masters studies | MS course

Germany VS Singapore Deciding a path to choose, when you have lot of options in hand is very difficult. When you are applying for Masters studies, there would be a lot of confusion in terms of which country to apply for and there was a question in Quora regarding Germany VS Singapore. Trust me, even I was in the same dilemma when I wanted to pursue my Masters course. 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. Climate:   Are you a person who likes Winters to be cold(around 0 degree Celsius)? Are you a person who likes to just have 2 months of Summer? If you’re from a tropical country, then there is high possibility that you will not like Germany’s climate, but on the other hand Singapore has similar tropical conditions, which makes it easier to adapt.  Winner:  Singapore Course duration:  Most of the courses...
