Uni is just entry point, need to do all by self.
Tips: Make sure that you conduct proper research concerning the course and the job market, as well as the language, before settling for anything. This will enable you to know the opportunities available and also the industry demand, enabling you to succeed in Germany.

Academic experience in German public university
Tips: Overall, a good academic experience, but students should be prepared about the cultural difference and language barriers. Managing their finance independent and studying is also important. I didn't apply for any scholarships. I am really satisfied with my course and university life.
Likes (Internships): The university is providing internships for students. Students can also apply for internships at companies that match their academic background. Sometimes there are obligations, such as voluntary internships that should be completed within 2 or 3 semesters.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Finding a suitable job after studies is very challenging. You need to find a job that matches your qualifications to get a visa after your studies. Also, the permanent residence process can be lengthy and involves several requirements like language, a job contact, etc. Yes, I would like to immigrate permanently to Germany if given the opportunity.

Worth the Effort, Great Education and Opportunities in Munich
Tips:
Getting used to life here may require some time, particularly on a social level. Germany, and Bavaria in particular, is a rather traditional country where people are private, reserved and distant. It is not very easy to make friends with locals (particularly in the winter months). However, I studied in Munich, which houses 3 universities. Therefore, there are many new international students each semester who can attend different student events, network, and get involved in cultural activities. Thus, there are opportunities to make friends, but of course, it requires effort. 1. There is a clear cultural change: people are reserved and private. But after having become fluent in the language and familiarising myself with the local culture, everything became much easier. People, both locals and other students, became more approachable and friendly, which helped a lot in both my personal and professional life. 2. Yes, I got the Deutschlandstipendium for the whole period of my studies, which gives u20ac300 per month. An additional advantage was that there were no extra expenses connected with the application for a visa extension. The funding is provided by the government. There is no fixed criterion, and it helps students who have hardships, are refugees, etc. I got it for academic and volunteering achievements over the years. 3. Very satisfied; the most difficult and time-consuming thing is learning the language, but when I became fluent in it, a lot of opportunities opened up for me. People became totally different; I became friends with locals, got job offers and immediately found my home. From my experience, proficiency in the language is the key to success, particularly in civil engineering. Though there are opportunities for English speakers, any student who wants to study and work here should consider the language issue. This helps a lot with Career prospects and Quality of life.
Likes (Value for money):
The financial investment in my studies was very low: 0 tuition fees (only a semester contribution of 136 euros). There are also plenty of government-funded scholarships. I feel it is worth the money because of the high academic standards, career prospects after graduation and little financial burden.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration):
After completing my Master's, I was able to start working in the same field as my studies, which made me eligible for the EU Blue Card. The process was smooth and remarkably fast. Regarding the permanent immigration question, I have now learned the language, work full-time, and am integrated well into society, and, based on how things are progressing, I see myself realistically doing so in the coming years.

4.1
Research oriented output driven
Tips: The exam pattern and way of teaching are different from those in India. More practical way of learning. I got the Deutschlandstipendium for 2 years. The criteria to get this scholarship are marks plus social commitment (highly competetive in TUM). I am happy with the course, university and country.
Likes (Safety): I am not aware of the facilities provided to ensure students' safety, but there will be many, for sure. I never felt unsafe here. I have only had good experiences in Munich city so far. There were days when I used to reach my room after 3 am, but I never felt unsafe. Public transportation is also reliable and safe even during odd hours.
Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus part-time jobs are available but highly competitive and pay less. More money can be earned by doing off-campus jobs, which are easy to find. Managing part-time work along with studies and other household chores is difficult, but doable. 13 euros per hour is the average, I think.

TUM provides the students with the right faculty and equipment for a successful career.
Tips: There is a bit of cultural shock because German society is very structured. Public cleanliness is a must, and in Munich, everything closes at 8. At TUM, tuition fees do not exist. We only pay the student union fees and a monthly subscription for public transport that is valid across Germany. In that case, it’s an extremely kind and easy place to immigrate into. TUM is an extremely fun yet stressful environment. There’s little room for excuses and understanding. However, it gives you the best professors and equipment to aid in any academic career you may want.
Likes (Public transportation): There are several buses and a U-Bahn (metro) station exclusively for the campus that I attend in Garching. Most public transport runs at 10-minute intervals and is mostly on time. The entire city is well connected, and with the Deutschland Ticket subscription you can even travel nation-wide, which is worth every cent.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I have permanent residency in the country because of time. I’ve been here for most of my life. However, for other people, I have found integration into German culture difficult. A high level of grasp of German, education and job security are required to successfully immigrate to Germany.

Academically challenging but rewarding
Tips: Learn the language and take the effort to integrate, overall, a great experience academically and otherwise. If you are from a place where there is cultural discrimination against women or others, leave it at home before you come out, its honesty pretty gross.
Likes (Post study jobs): Lots of chances in Munich to do internships, and then you can try whatever you want and then at the end, choose, there are a tonne of huge companies in the city and in the surrounding region. This gives you the chance to actually compete for a lot of positions.
Dislikes (Student Life): Student life is pretty much non-existent, but outside of campus you can have a good time. There are a lot of student clubs that you can join, and that's honestly pretty nice, but normally at university you won't have the classic Indian hostel experience.

Technical University of Munich generally accepts a JEE Advanced score only for the immediate academic intake to the year the exam was passed (usually within one year).
Universities like TU Munich assess students based on current admission rules, and hence using a scorecard older than admission year i
