Focus on you goal and you find unlimited opportunities to learn
Tips: Germany is a cold country and when it comes to people. They are cold too. It's hard to make friends from this nation but as a student you will find and many group from our country. So student life will be joyful. Obviously one will face many culture shocks, food, punctuality, and planning everything.
Likes (Value for money): There is no tuition fee and the registration and student membership and transport fee is minimal. If one is interested to learn about different subjects you can take subjects from other course too, no body stop you from learning. Professors are helpful and you can do research and find student job under them.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The city is small and you find very less industries in and around the city. You have to move to other cities to find, internship, or full-time jobs. So it will be obvious that you settled in a different city. People often move to southern states or even West to find career opportunities. But, overall you will definitely find a job and find your chance to permanent settled here in Germany. Unless you don't stop trying. One who doesn't give up will find a good opportunity to settled here. Remember patience and perseverance is the key here.

Supportive campus environment.
Tips: It was a bit easier for me as my cousin was also staying in the same city as I was. So I was ahead in everything and was aware of what to do, when to do and how to do. I haven't availed of any scholarships. I am liking this country in many ways but I still prefer my homeland. If given a chance, I have to settle down somewhere else besides India; it surely will be Deutschland.

Compared to Indian Institutes, German Public Universities are far better.
Tips: There are a few scholarships that are available. We can apply for them and get financial aid. I am very much satisfied with my university, with a very good number of International students, sharing cultures, etc. If you have a chance to come, then you can definitely choose Germany.

Overall, it's a university with the best ROI in Germany.
Tips: Finishing a degree in 2 years is very rare. Everyone takes more than 2 years to finish the degree. It is not easy with a job and all. But I was good at tech so I found a full-time senior engineer job before finishing my course. The course is very good, there are some restrictions and guidelines pertaining to degree buckets. You might have to study some courses in order to just meet the degree requirements, even if you are not interested.
Likes (Student Life): Magdeburg is very affordable. In 300 Euros, you will find a room even in 2026, the cheapest among all the cities. The university organizes job fairs and other events. You can't ask for more for the price. IKUS is a community funded by the university which organizes various events. But there are no part time jobs available without German language.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are great but their teaching style is very different from India. Don't expect the same. Faculty uses the slide theory method which bears very basic information, but the real learning happens from Ubung classes. The teaching faculty is pretty diverse but students are mostly Asian.

4.1
Research oriented, and supportive.
Tips: Knowing the German language is always helpful to survive and have a good social life. It's also easy to get a job based on language proficiency. Before starting this study course, it's also good to know programming and its basics. There is an option of scholarship; however, I did not take one.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport connectivity is good for daily travel. Ticket prices are included in the semester contribution. Now the monthly pass to travel with regional transport all over Germany is also possible, the price of which is also included in the semester contribution.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part time options, in general are limited to language proficiency. If you are able to speak German then there are more options. As a student, 20 hours per week in part time is quite manageable. The studies are more demanding as it's a technical university.

OVGU always welcomes a big group of international students and takes care of the academic forum.
Tips: Students should know about document formalities, city registration and everything related to documentation. No racism exists. It is safe for day and night, people from not just India, but other countries too can roam safely with no hesitation. They can make friends and enjoy their time here after prioritising their studies and academic growth to get a job.
Dislikes (Internships): Students get proper guidance. There were different e-job fairs to attend and get exposure to our field. Also, there were consultancies to work with. But, the German language is really very important to study at all times, including at least B2 German.

It takes 10 weeks for Uni-assist to evaulate and send the application to OVGU. The university then takes another 4 to 6 weeks to process the application. Indian students are therefore advised to apply early to study at OVGU Germany.

Uni-assist is the primary portal Indian students use to apply for higher studies at OVGU. The platform allows students to obtain a VPD (credential evaluation document).
For some courses, students can apply directly via the university website.

Yes, students can defer their admission at OVGU by either one semester or one year. For that, students need to email the OVGU Student Secretariat or the relevant department directly.
Students need to ensure they don't officially enrol in a programme before requesting for admission deferral at OVG Uni
