16 points you need to know before deciding to study in Germany

16 points you need to know before deciding to study in Germany

  1. There are no ranking systems in place, to measure the universities
  2. The course you want to do is more important than the fame of the university
  3. No one will spoon feed you with respect to the subjects/labs that you should take to complete your course
  4. Most of the times, attendance are not taken in the class
  5. The Professors don’t care, if you attend the class or not
  6. The exams do not have a common pattern - meaning, XYZ subject can have the exam for 90 marks with a duration of 2 hours, whereas ABC subject can have the exam for 32 marks with a duration of 90 minutes.
  7. Other than the written exams, there can be oral exams, just projects where you need to give a presentation to get the marks
  8. You have the liberty to decide, which subject you want to study this semester and you can opt out of the examination even before 7 days of the exam date.
  9. Most of the times, you only have 2–3 attempts to clear/pass a subject - If you fail more than this, you will be thrown out of the course
  10. You definitely need to learn German language
  11. It is very common to pursue PhD after your Masters - If you have the interest towards the subject, you can easily opt for it
  12. Germany has lot of research institutes and they do pay well(depends on the stipend and institute)
  13. Do not worry about jobs while you apply to universities - because you really cannot do much, than applying for the right course.
  14. Job scenario is much different in Germany - Most of the companies put their job openings online and you may have to clear phone interviews and couple of face to face interviews
  15. The job interviews will not test your certificates, but the knowledge that you have gained via your internships, thesis, etc.,
  16. Once you graduate, you are eligible to avail 18 months of job search visa in which you can search for jobs across Europe.

Do not be selfish, share this piece of information with others also:

    sually university and private student halls are fully-furnished. If you’re applying for off-campus housing, however, you’ll need to check what furniture the property and rooms have, as it can vary.

The risks of studying in Germany

By Admin
In most of the Facebook groups related to Admissions in Germany, you can see 4 out of 5 posts from Prospective students, who wants to know the scope of the particular field and also the job opportunities. 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. So, I would like to address this topic and enlighten the risks of studying in Germany.  Financial risks: From my experience, I can tell that you will need approximately 10-15 lakhs INR. This amount will vary from place to place, because of the difference in cost of living in various places. I have also seen many students surviving with just 7 lakhs INR, by getting a part-time job to s

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 in Germany needs t
