It’s one of the best university to study in Germany. Also it’s Industry and research oriented.
Tips: Students should first have clarity about choosing their field of study and register for required courses at the earliest so as to get a fixed place, and one of the major things they should do is look for accommodation well in advance. Better to learn a basic level of German or to register for a language course very well in advance, as it's very competitive to get a fixed place.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is on point, we can concentrate on academics and we have a student union which facilitates us to participate in extra-curricular activities as well. So you can enjoy your student life completely and have some opportunity to be part of student perks as tickets for movies, travel everything will be on concession.
Dislikes (Safety): Professors come down themselves to take the classes which is super beneficial as some of them are like veterans in their field of study and one best thing is we have a platform called Moodle where lecturer uploads everything before the class. Some of the courses also have practical experience, so it's one of the good things.

Build connections, set boundaries, and maintain a balance in your work.
Tips: Be friendly and communicate well. Build connections, set boundaries, and maintain a balance in your work. Recognise your accomplishments and work honestly, without trying to please everyone. I've grown significantly here, both personally and professionally, and feel stronger now. I didn't receive a scholarship and funded myself through part-time work.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is well-connected from student dorms and the university on weekdays from 7 am to 10 pm in Freising. The Munich campus has better connectivity. In Freising, the main modes of transport are buses, while in Munich, it's Regional trains or S Bahn. Munich also has good U Bahn and tram connectivity. Public transport is affordable, but it often experiences delays.
Dislikes (Part time work): The number of campus jobs is limited, making it somewhat challenging, especially initially. However, it improves over time as you learn the best approach. Besides off-campus jobs, such as odd jobs, most require German language skills; if you have an A2 level, many opportunities exist. The average pay for part-time work is around 15-16 euros/hour for on-campus positions and 12.50-15 euros/hour for odd jobs.

Punctuality is highly valued. Securing jobs and internships can be difficult.
Tips: Winters can be challenging, consider supplements, socialise, and get outside. Summers are wonderful; make the most of them. Be dedicated and proactive, as you won't be spoon-fed. Learn the local language – it's incredibly helpful. Learn to cook. Don't be afraid to connect with people; friends are invaluable. Maintain good hygiene and be tidy; there are no excuses for messiness. Punctuality is highly valued. While securing jobs and internships can be difficult, it's not impossible. Respect the new culture and integrate well – avoid littering, excessive talking, rudeness, and discrimination. The studies are not difficult, but you need to determine what to focus on. Participate in as many projects as possible and genuinely care about your work, and pursue hobbies.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation network is huge, well-connected, and regular. Trains run late sometimes, but buses are very frequent, except on Sundays, and you can reach most places. Touristy routes tend to be very crowded, especially on weekends. Get a bike and use it; it's the best commuting option.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian Food in general is not the most delicious, especially the affordable options. You need to go for expensive options. Indian grocery stores are also quite expensive, but worth it for some items. Other cuisines are cheaper but not always tasty. Try to cook at home and eat out 2-3 times a month.

TUM is very student-friendly and welcoming.
Tips: There are some significant cultural shocks as German culture is quite different from Indian culture. You'll need to be open to new ideas. I didn't get any scholarship as there was no tuition fee when I studied. University, and course were good. The country's bureaucracy could be better. But alas, no one wants to pay for it.
Likes (Student Life): Go to the lectures, and listen carefully. It’s also good to work with a diverse group of students. There are parties, festivals, and job fairs, and I would recommend trying to participate in as many of these as you can. You’ll find that there’s a student club for almost every activity, and if there isn’t one for something you’re interested in, you can even form your own, and the university will support you as long as it is a reasonable undertaking.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The chances of permanent immigration are high, but the process is long, irritating, and complicated. You'll need to learn the language, and the waiting times to even process the application are in months or years sometimes. I'd like to immigrate, but the only thing holding me back is that I can't bring my parents in the long term.

Entrepreneurial university with great facilities.
Tips: The university is very good in terms of ranking and recognition. The course contents are updated and correspond to current real-world examples. Some courses are at a different campus, which might require proper time management. Also, various classes can happen at the same time. Internships are slightly difficult in the current market. Moreover, knowing German would be a significant advantage. There's no specific guidance from the university, we have to try for it on our own. If some professors found something within their circle, they would post it.
Likes (Public transportation): Most of the locations within city limits are well connected. There are three campuses within Munich and on the edge of the city. They are well-connected in peak hours, but, some areas on the outskirts will have less frequent transportation after 9 p.m. But the limits are good and well-connected.

A: 

Yes, the university campus is generally considered safe for all students.

Munich is known for its low crime rate, with only 37.58 crimes being reported for every 1,000 people, per unofficial sources, placing it among the safest European cities.

While isolated incidents can happen anywhere, they are usually very rare in the city & do not paint the actual picture of the overall atmosphere in the city.

Q:   Which is harder to secure admission to among Technical University of Munich and Technical University of Berlin?
A: 

The Technical University of Munich & Technical University of Berlin are considered the flagbearers of technical education in Germany. Both these institutions rank very highly in the latest Shiksha Popularity Rankings, however, these institutions are selective to varying extents when it comes to admitting students.

The Technical University of Munich acceptance rate stands at around 8%, while that of Technical University of Berlin is around 52%. Though, TUB Berlin is somewhat selective, it is still nearly six times easier to secure a seat as compared to TUM Munich.
