4.1
University was Satisfactory
Tips: It's a good university with a lot of courses. There are options for scholarships, but I did not know how to avail myself of them. I am 80 percent satisfied because the course was pretty old and needed some changes because of changing technology, but I am not sure about this year; it is always better to check the university website.
Likes (Value for money): Tuition feels is very less compared to other West region Universities. It was around 380 euros, which is very little compared to a few other universities. Also, there are some universities with fewer fests per semester as well. Also, Chemnitz is very cheap comparatively, having less rent.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): This region in East Germany requires good German skills compared to other regions, and typically it is harder for English speakers to land a job. That's a different story if you receive a job that's the work-from-home type. That's why 3, because it is not impossible.

Its good univerty. good for internation students and friendly atmosphere.
Tips: Plan your finances. Get in international groups. Schedule and register for classes in advance. Learn German every day. There are many scholarship options, but you need to apply early with really good achievements. Try to communicate with others and learn many things.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): If you are a Blue Card holder and have worked 21 months in Germany with a B1 level of German, then you can be a permanent residency holder. Ways of living, health care, public transport, and work-life balance are good. I would not shift permanently due to high taxation and difficult bureaucracy. It is difficult with German bureaucracy. They do not support you if you cannot speak good German.
Dislikes (Part time work): Chemnitz is a smaller city, and there are not so many international student job opportunities due to the language barrier. If you can speak really good German, then it's good for you, but only English is not enough. For part-time workers and students, the pay rate is an average of 14 euro per hour.

Learning Beyond Classroom
Tips: I have a systematic way of living after coming to Germany. Started doing things by myself without asking anyone. There was not a big cultural shift, but I could say the way I used to live in india, that is entirely different from how I live now. No, I have not applied for any scholarships yet, may be in future, if any opportunity comes, I might apply. I am fully satisfied with the university, as they help you to learn things practically and give a lot of different opportunities to attain practical knowledge. Also, the course I do is one I like, because it's a combination of Physics and Chemistry, and I loved learning those.
Likes (Value for money): This place is good value for money because the living expenses here are cheap. The place has lower rent compared to other cities. So, staying here is much cheaper. Rent plus other expenses for food and insurance altogether will cost around 650 euros for me. So, if you have a part-time job, then you can manage the expenses and save a bit of money every month as well.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): This is because I intend to stay in Germany, provided there is an appropriate opportunity for me. However, on the contrary, it is that I have not decided anything about settling down permanently. As a matter of fact, what I want now is practical experience. Now, in this context, the possibility is moderate. Germany has its own procedure to settle skilled workers in Germany permanently based on certain conditions. Once you settle down there, the possibilities will become very high.

overall experience was somewhat disappointing and did not fully meet expectations
Tips: As for the city itself, I barely felt any culture shock coming to Chemnitz. Because the international crowd on campus is so big, you end up hanging out mostly with other foreign students rather than really integrating into local German life. Everything feels pretty globalized anyway, so it wasn't the huge, transformative experience I pictured. Also, there are basically zero university scholarships—you're paying for everything yourself or working part-time. If you want an exotic study-abroad adventure, this isn't it; it's just a quiet, regular routine.
Likes (Public transportation): I gave public transport a high rating because getting around Chemnitz—and even traveling around Saxony—is effortless as a student. Your student ID includes the Semesterticket, which gives you unlimited rides on all the CVAG buses and trams in the city, plus regional trains across the whole state without paying anything extra.
The Reichenhainer Straße campus is connected directly by the tram lines, so getting to the city center, the main train station (Hbf), or local shopping spots takes no time at all. Buses and trams run around the clock, so getting around is dead cheap whether you're right next to campus or living further out.
Dislikes (Part time work): Low-economy region. Not many technical as well as odd jobs in this city and nearby area. Part-time work can be managed except the exam period depending on type of work and boss The average payout depends on time, location and type of work, but minimum wage start from 14 euro per hour.

My Experience at TU Chemnitz
Tips: Moving to Chemnitz was surprisingly smooth, mostly because the cost of living here is way cheaper than in major German cities. That said, getting used to the structured German lifestyle and picking up enough German to survive definitely took some time and effort. I didn't get any scholarships, so I had to self-fund everything by working part-time while studying.
At the end of the day, I'm glad I chose TU Chemnitz. The education quality is solid, the degree gives you practical technical skills that employers actually respect, and if you're willing to put in the work to learn the language and manage your time, the long-term career prospects in Germany make the effort totally worth it.
Dislikes (Internships): Getting an internship at TU Chemnitz is definitely a mixed bag, which is why I gave it a 3/5. On paper, there are plenty of solid automotive and engineering roles around, but actually landing one is a massive headache. Most firms want prior experience and fluent German—especially if you're working directly with local engineering teams or clients where English just won't cut it.
You basically have to send out dozens of applications and be open to moving or commuting to places like Dresden, Leipzig, or Zwickau where the bigger industrial opportunities are. The university’s job portal, career fairs, and resume workshops are fine for basic guidance, but don't expect them to place you anywhere—you have to do all the heavy lifting yourself.

It ia good but city lacks energy and freshness and learn B2 german
Tips: Start learning German immediately—don't wait until you actually land in Chemnitz. Trying to get by on English alone makes life way harder than it needs to be. Even for basic part-time jobs, student worker positions (Werkstudent), or internships around Saxony, speaking German is pretty much essential—you will struggle to find anything if you only rely on English.
As for the academics, be prepared for a very traditional, theory-heavy curriculum. The coursework at TUDC/TU Chemnitz focuses heavily on fundamental theory and written exams rather than modern hands-on projects, so you'll need to do a lot of self-study to keep up. While the university facilities themselves are decent and the cost of living in Chemnitz is super cheap, the city itself can feel quiet and isolated compared to places like Leipzig, Dresden, or Munich. If you have offers from universities in bigger or more dynamic student cities, I’d honestly recommend considering those first.
