Study in Germany

Yes! Most public universities in Germany do not charge tuition fees for any student, including international students. You only pay a semester contribution of €150–350, which often includes a public transport ticket.

A blocked account (Sperrkonto) is a German bank account where you deposit €11,208 before applying for the student visa. It proves you can support yourself financially. You can access €934/month after arriving in Germany.

The APS (Academic Evaluation Centre) certificate is mandatory for all international students applying for German universities and visas. It verifies your academic documents. Apply at the APS India office in New Delhi. Processing takes 4–8 weeks.

Not necessarily! Over 1,500 Master's programmes are taught entirely in English, especially in engineering, business, and natural sciences. For German-taught programmes, you need B2 level German (TestDaF or DSH). Learning German greatly improves job prospects.

After graduation, you can stay in Germany for 18 months on a job search visa. Once you find a job related to your qualification and earn above the minimum salary threshold, you can convert to a work permit and eventually apply for permanent residency (Niederlassungserlaubnis).

international Class 12 graduates are generally not directly admitted to German Bachelor's programmes. Most German universities require a preparatory course (Studienkolleg) or a completed 1-year foundation programme. Direct admission is possible at some universities with strong scores.
