So, this became a huge topic of discussion on social media and many candidates were worried about their VISA and thus there were a lot of tweets to the Ministry of External Affairs(MEA), India to solve this problem. 

It has come to our notice that, after all these hustle in Facebook, Twitter and Emails the German consulate has removed the Notice of not accepting the passports. We cannot see that statement in their website and also there have been some conversations in the Facebook groups that, the Consulate has started accepting the old passports as well.

FREE EDUCATION IN GERMANY!!

By Admin
Yes!! You heard it right, doing Masters in Germany is mostly free of cost. It is not fully free of cost, but comparatively it is very less than doing Bachelors in most of the countries. As a student, you many have to pay around 300 euros per semester.   In the recent years, Germany has made its education, free of cost. You may ask, how does Germany manage to provide free education, it is very simple. In Germany the people agree to pay high taxes, which they get back as very good services from the government. And moreover, Germany has a lower percentage of students opting for college, contrary to countries like America or India. In fact, from long back, there had been no tuition fees in Germany, but there are still some universities collecting a small amount of fees as a process to speed up the process of completing the degree.  WHY GERMANY?

By Admin
Another state in Germany is also planning to introduce fees in the coming years. There has been a latest article about it in the "Spiegel" Newspaper and here is a translated version of it. With a new fee for foreign students, North Rhine-Westphalia wants to improve its education budget. The CDU and the FDP have agreed on Friday in their coalition negotiations to demand 1500 euros per semester from every student coming from a country outside the European Union. The black-yellow coalition plans to put the money into the universities of the country. They could take up to 100 million euros per year in the medium term, said FDP boss Christian Lindner. He spoke of an "innovative way to improve the quality of teaching in NRW". As a result, politicians have a similar course to their colleagues in Baden-Württemberg. In the coming winter semester, the state will introduce a study fee for non-EU foreigners of € 1500 per semester and will invest them in research an...

By Admin
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...
