Academically Strong University with a Beautiful Campus and Affordable Study at a Public University
Tips: Before joining, students should be clear about why they are coming. The university courses are very good, the campus is beautiful, and you will make many good connections. There will definitely be a cultural shift, but it is part of the process. Since it is a public university, the semester contribution is very affordable. If you are genuinely interested in the course you have chosen, you don't need to worry much about other things. A few basic tips will still help: learn basic German early, since it makes daily life and part-time job hunting much easier, and arrange your accommodation well in advance, because housing in a small town can fill up quickly, and bring warm clothes if you are joining in the winter semester, as winters in Ilmenau can be cold.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Upon completion of your studies and after finding a job, you may apply for a work visa or an EU Blue Card that will provide a very clear pathway to allow you to live and work in Germany. Within several years of having worked in qualifying jobs, you will then be able to apply for permanent residency. You may also qualify for citizenship in the future. There are, however, certain requirements to consider.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Ilmenau is a small town, so the campus is well connected, and most places are within walking distance. Buses run until late in the evening, and the Deutschlandticket is included in the semester contribution, which makes it very affordable. However, service is limited compared to bigger cities: trains leave only twice an hour if you want to go out of the city, and bus frequency drops at night. That is why I rated it an average rather than higher.

My 2 cents for aspiring students looking to study in Thuringen
Tips: TU Ilmenau gives you a better education and experience than many universities. The student body is very diverse, there's a lot of events that take place throughout the academic year - festivals, music events like raves, sports facilities, nature activities like hiking, swimming, etc. I'd request all aspiring students to read the news and understand things outside of academics as well. Focus on making international friends, focus on integration, don't stick to people form tour community back home, be empathetic, develop emotional intelligence, don't discriminate, learn your rights.
Likes (Student Life): I had mang international and german friends, I was part of kolllectives and always had some activity to do. The community was great in Ilmenau. I had a great time in Ilmenau because of my multicultural friend group(s). I knew a lot of people in university, so getting help or assistance was easy. Making spontaneous plans was easy, it's a small town, so people assume there's not much you can do, but there's a lot to see. I went hiking, played basketball, football, volleyball, swimming, etc. There are also corporate events that take place now and then. There are student organisations like Stura, we4you, MFK, and student clubs that you can be part of. I'm very thankful for the community.
Dislikes (Safety): There have been attacks on students and other occurrences during my time. There are news articles as well. Additionally, Ilmenau has a rather right-wing populace who have an anti immigration stance. Racism and xenophobia are common occurrences in the town.

TU Ilmenau, Germany, Msc Communications and Signal Processing
Tips: It's a small and beautiful town, but if you want big-city hustle, don't come here. If you don't want to learn German and want to work in Germany, it's a dream that might not come true. Because it's a small town, you have to speak German for day-to-day things. The cost is very low, but not too much to do in the town, as the town is very small with just ~28k population, and out of that, 4K are students, and the rest are old people. All the fun is inside the campus, there is not much outside.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at the university is very good and interactive. Professors and supervisors are humble and offer opportunities if one has potential. DON'T PUT BARRIERS IF NECESSARY INFO IS PROVIDED IN A FEW LINES, THEN THAT'S IT. DON'T PUT BARRIERS IF NECESSARY INFO IS PROVIDED.
Dislikes (Internships): The course I studied has no mandatory internship. Germany has a higher rate of internships offered to students in courses that have mandatory internships. This is not based on the university but on the course and country. DON'T PUT BARRIERS, IF NECESSARY INFORMATION IS PROVIDED IN A FEW LINES, THEN THAT'S IT.

Nice small town university
Tips: It's a small university town. A lot fewer people than the big city university has. It is good; courses are challenging compared to India's, and you have to work hard. Tuition fees are lower, and you have the Deutschland ticket, so you can travel in public transport for free in all of Germany. Plus, small towns have less expensive accommodation; it is cheap, with lots of Indian students and diverse students. Lots of activities to do. Culture is really good.
Likes (Value for money): Tuition fees are lower, and you have the Deutschland ticket, so you can travel in public transport for free in all of Germany. Plus, small towns have less expensive accommodation; it is cheap, with lots of Indian students and diverse students. Lots of activities to do. Culture is really good.
Dislikes (Part time work): It's a very small town, so part-time jobs are fewer. Plus, you need basic German language knowledge to get a part-time job. You can also travel 1 hour to the nearby city of Erfurt for a part-time job; there you also need basic German language knowledge. And traveling is hectic.

My 4.6-Year Life at TU Ilmenau.
Tips: German language basics greatly help. Self-time management is very important. Getting and processing information in an orderly and active way is most important. Although there are various international organizations to help students, one should always take the initiative to get self-info.
Likes (Value for money): TU Ilmenau is a public university that offers studies almost free of charge. There is only a small amount of semester contribution needed, which also gives almost as much return as public transport, library usage, and various study-related software usage. Again, the city also provides cheap living costs, compared to big cities.
Dislikes (Part time work): Ilmenau is a small city. It is also a university city, where a large part of the population is students. So, it is hard to get a part-time job. Students need to go to nearby cities to get a job. There are options such as labor works, but they affect study a lot.

Great , Quite to learn grow and build your career
Tips: Students should be prepared for a peaceful and nonchaotic environment. Ilmenau is a very small town and full of greenery. But you get almost everything here in this small town. TU Ilmenau is very research-oriented. The international community are very active, and they have multiple clubs and organizations.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): After graduation from a German university, the pathway is clear for international students who want to live here. You will get up to 18 months on a job seeker visa, and then after landing a job and crossing a certain threshold in salary, you are eligible for a blue card, and then you can apply for PR after a few months.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I rated it 4/5 because I believe Germany has very good opportunities for international students, and yes, language plays a very important factor. Learning German makes things easy. Many people get full-time jobs after graduation, but effort is needed in every field, as the market is very competitive.

As per general consensus, TU Ilmenau admisson process can range from moderate to selective depending on the targeted course. However, students who meet the course-specific entry requirements and the English/German proficiency tests have very good chances of getting a seat here.
