Chemnitz has good environment to live, you have to make the best of it.
Tips: You may experience a cultural shift in the form of language and festivities. The transition will not be too difficult. In terms of food, there are options to get Indian groceries in Chemnitz. I did get a scholarship for a year called Deutschlandstipendium. The monthly allowance was 300 euros. The course and University have a lot of resources and it totally depends on how you make the best use of it.

Technical University of Chemnitz has a very good reputation in Germany.
Tips: The Technical University of Chemnitz is basically a good university. If, we are discussing the Advanced Manufacturing course, then it's too versatile, which is a diverse case of its specialisation courses. These modules help you to understand and work on your area of interest.
Likes (Value for money): From a living standard and financial perspective, Chemnitz is an excellent place to live, especially for students. As the third largest city in the state of Saxony, it is well developed, while still maintaining a lower cost of living than bigger cities.

Overall, it's a good experience.
Tips: Make sure you can handle the job pressure with your study and also have to learn German language it's very important. Job is easy to find if you know German language. Make sure you have enough language skills and try to get in contact with professors.
Likes (Value for money): Hardly, I am spending 500 euro per month in Chemnitz, Germany all things included as compared to other cities. It's the cheapest and best city for students. The traveling is free and some great cities like Dresden, liepzig are near to Chemnitz and it's easy to find job there.
Dislikes (Indian Food): For vegetarians, there are very limited options for food. All things like pizza have two or three options for vegetarians. McDonald's only serves non veg burger, etc. For spices also it is very expensive and everytime you have to search for Indian stores to buy some things which are usually expensive.
