Overall, a univ. with best ROI in Germany.
Tips: Finishing degree in 2 years is very rare. Everyone takes more than 2 years to finish the degree. It is not easy with job and all. But I was good in tech, so I found full time senior engineer job before finishing my course. The course is very good but there are some restrictions and guidelines pertaining 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, cheapest among all the cities. The university organizes job fairs and other events. You can't ask more for the price. IKUS is a community funded by the university which organizes various events. But there are no part time jobs avaible 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 slide theory method which bears very basic information, but the real learning happens from Ubung classes. Teaching faculty is pretty diverse but students are mostly Asian.

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

Rediscover yourself! Study in Germany.
Tips: Nothing really! Everything is listed above. What might be interesting is that one needs to take care for the initial days until one gets their own accomodation. Often there are situations when people don't get accomodation untill the first weeks of arrival, this is something very normal for candidates studying in German universities.
Likes (Value for money): Study is free for the students from abroad. So simply speaking, in the tuition fee, the public transportation in included. So one doesn't really pay anything for education. The only expense is accomodation and food. This is true basically for most of the German universities.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Less vegetarian options and the food is unfortunately very tastless so need to prepare your own food. For Indian taste, it is a very problematic situation. So it is sugested that you have your own cooking skills and cook your own food. This makes the life easier.

University life for real.
Tips: Be respectful, try to integrate, don't be Afraid. It's a fun university, City not so much, make friends outside your culture, be acceptable and open to others, explore life outside academics, study regularly and not just before exam, chatgpt is just a tool!

It is one of the best universities to pursue masters, with less distractions and a less costs.
Tips: Cultural shock as East Germany is not as developed as West Germany. Scholarship opportunities are low as there is no mandatory need from the course pov. There is great exposure within the institutions. I am very satisfied. Obviously, culture and language are difficult but that’s manageable. Just needs a lot of dedication.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Best quality teachers since affiliation with the Max Planck and Fraunhofer institutes. Faculty is approachable and very research oriented. They hail from diverse countries and have a great opportunity to become good engineers, and also create job opportunities.
