Is it a good idea to join the private universities in Germany?

Germany has lot of "public" universities which offer zillion courses in most of the engineering/science disciplines. But still, there are some students who like to apply for the "private" universities which has better acceptance rate on a comparative basis. The application process for these private universities are much simpler and doesn't take much effort. There are some universities which offer good course modules and practical exposure.

On an average, most of the private universities ask for tution fees of around 18-20k EUROS for two years, where your living expenses are not included. Thus for two years you would need to spend around 40k EUROS on a whole. Though the private universities charge tution fees, they would not guarantee an job or Campus placement after your studies.

There are possibilities that you may not complete your studies in 2 years and what happens if you extend your studies for one more semester/year? Then, should you pay the semester fees again or is it included in the course? Also, these private universities tend to have Internship & Master Thesis in their curriculum. What happens if you are not able to get the internship & Thesis in time? Will the university help you to find the internship/thesis?

My suggestion is that, before you choose the private university and burn a hole in your pocket, take a step back and analyse your situation; enquire properly, make a clear decision. Because there is nothing that you can do after you pay the fees and then repent that you do not like the course or location.

If I were given an option of choosing an private university in Germany, I wouldn't take it. Because, in a land where 90% of the courses are offered for FREE and if I am not able to get an ADMIT in those courses, then there is something really wrong with my profile and needs to be rectified. I would like to remind you that, I am not paid or sponsored for this article and all the thoughts in this article are my own and more of an personal opinion. I do not in any way, mean to degrade the private universities.

At the end of the day, it is your choice to choose an private uninversity or public university.

All the best
Cheers :)
