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.

TUM: Beer, sweat and tears :)
Tips: Extremely satisfied with the university. Getting into TUM is easy, but graduation is hard. You get a maximum duration of 8 semesters where you have to complete 180 ECTS; otherwise you're exmatriculated and barred from pursuing that study program anywhere else in the country.
Likes (Indian Food): Amazing Indian restaurants available. Many Indian stores also sell Indian snacks. I prefer eating outside or cooking for myself here and there. I love the food and beer scene in Munich in general. Also a big enough Indian diaspora to go out together to eat some local butter chicken :).
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The German job market, and the overall European market in general, are experiencing a downturn. Would recommend new students find working student jobs and try to get a permanent position after graduation. Many teach roles available at legacy companies, and many automobile giants have their headquarters in Munich.

What should people know if you want to join TUM
Tips: It's academically demanding, even for management and technology students. I have lived here for around 11 years now, so I never had a culture shift. There are scholarships for high-performing students, like the Deutschlandstipendium, etc. The university is good; it opens a lot of opportunities and is very reputed everywhere. However, they have introduced international tuition fees, so if anyone is interested in joining, they must really think about it.
Likes (Public transportation): TUM is in central Munich with many different public transport options, including buses, underground trains, and trams. You have the Deutschlandticket, which you can use for public regional transportation all over Germany for around 40 euros a month.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It's hard to grow in this country starting as a junior employee if you don't speak German and are not German. I have heard from many people that the office politics is hard to navigate. I myself are planning on moving out for a master's or for employment in the future. Its great to study here since the education is almost free, many part time employment options, and can find working student positions or internships to kick start the career.

Its a Great University and a great course.
Tips: Must learn German at least B1/2 before coming to Germany in general. Cities are much cleaner and more organized. Prices might look way higher on groceries. Satisfied with everything, but the job market is too bad, and getting a job is extremely hard, so be prepared for this.
Likes (Public transportation): It's great! A 49 euro ticket is enough to travel anywhere inside the state. For students it's a really good travel option. Trains, trams, buses, U-bahns, and S-bahns are available options, and all important places are very well connected with great frequencies of transport.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Food is just a variety of breads here. You really miss Indian food, sweets, and snacks here. I generally cook for myself, as it's way cheaper and tastier. Most of the groceries are available in local markets, but if you need Indian dal and spices, you need to get them from Indian markets, which are a bit farther.

Part-time jobs at TUM/Munich are available but very competitive.
Tips: Students should know TUM is academically demanding and Munich is one of the most expensive cities to live in, so plan their studies and finance well. Transition is quite smooth as German culture is more independent and punctual. I was admitted in the W-2023 intake which led to tuition feels being < 100/semester. Overall, I'm more than satisfied with TUM, my course and Germany.
Likes (Public transportation): TUM is well connected by U-Bahn, S-Bahn, Tram and Bus. Travel is convenient across Munich and Germany. Students get a discounted Deutschlandticket, around 43/month in 2026, making transport affordable. Kudos to Deutsche Bahn or rather Delay Bahn.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs at TUM/Munich are available but very competitive. On-campus HiWi roles are limited, require German and off-campus roles are cumbersome. TUM academics are heavily demanding, so work is hard to manage. The average pay is 15/hr.

TU Munich and Life in Germany
Tips: A lot of things change after you step out of your comfort zone, your home. There is definitely a huge cultural shift, unlike India. The food, the weather, the people you meet, the place you live and share and most importantly, the language. Everything here is in German: road signs, grocery, announcements, etc. Knowing a little bit of knowledge in advance helps a lot and makes things easier! I didn't avail myself of any scholarships, as my university didn't charge any fee for the degree; however, DAAD offers information about all the courses, their admission requirements, all universities, as well as the scholarships available and their deadlines. Germany in general loves paperwork, so if you are interested, brace yourself, as you'll need a lot of documentation to apply. I am personally grateful that I chose this university, as it gave a lot of opportunities to work in different settings, from academic labs to company internships to hospital experience. I worked everywhere and also had the freedom to choose what I wanted to study which subjects to take and what to major in for my degree! It was a wholesome experience! I would definitely recommend it!
Likes (Quality of faculty): You can always approach the faculty during the lecture period and also afterwards regarding internship opportunities; however, you have to be aware, as there is a lot of competition. The teaching method that I personally admire is them giving real-time information on the recent research and the work done, rather than a typical syllabus method where interactive learning happens because of the curiosity! They offer some diversity with mostly German teachers along with guest speakers and lecturers from all over the world.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I gave post-study jobs a low rating because even though Germany is supposed to have great career prospects, actually landing a job after graduating is a massive uphill battle. People think having TUM on their resume means companies will just fight over them because of the uni's huge reputation and industry ties, but that’s not how it works at all—you still have to grind incredibly hard. Everything boils down to your German fluency, how much past experience you have, and honestly, how bad the market is at the moment. Most of the roles you end up seeing are things like research assistants, lab scientists, tech assistants, or maybe project coordination if you get lucky. Plus, the starting pay usually hovers around €43k to €55k depending on where you land, which isn't mind-blowing considering how insanely expensive it is to live in Munich while you're hunting for work.
