Great faculty and a vibrant campus.
Tips: Enrol in language classes early as only 20-25 students are allowed for a level. Management helps with any problem regarding mental health, scholarships, integration into German society, language and visa issues. Just email them or book one on one session online.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition fee is minimal, but it has increased to around 500 euros per semester in recent months. You can use jobs to manage other expenses. Lifestyle expenses can be managed with part time jobs. Jobs are sometimes scarce in winter time, but there are apps on which you can book shifts.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Social life is a very important part of my life and given the language barrier and cold temperatures half the time, it’s hard to manage. You can permanently immigrate if you meet the minimum earning criteria and you have language skills. I would not immigrate permanently.

Ingolstadt is an industrial city with a huge number of students.
Tips: The first few days here were tricky, that's obvious with a new country and a new language. Learning German is the first thing I'd recommend before coming here even though the course is in English. The course work of my degree has undergone several changes starting WS25/26. The subjects included in the new coursework are incredibly helpful in all round development of vehicles.
Dislikes (Part time work): Ingolstadt is an industrial city with a huge number of students studying in two Universities. This results in almost all positions being filled at all times. Language is an important requirement for most. Work is manageable as nobody is allowed to work past 20 hours a week during the study period. The average payout is usually 13-15 an hour.

Strong academics with good industry exposure.
Tips: Students should understand the course structure. Most of the programme is quite technical so strong basics are important. The university location is very important because most working students/ internship are available in or near major cities. In this case, Ingolstadt is well located between Munich and Nuremberg, so many working students / Internship opportunities are available. Also check availability part-time jobs in the city. For technical course students, they must attend lectures regularly; otherwise, they may face difficulties in the exam and risk failing. Each subject allows only 3 attempts, and if a student cannot clear it within these attempts, they are removed from the course as per university rules. The university also offers language courses every semester. Students should take advantage of these opportunities, as they are free and very beneficial. My transition was mostly smooth. A major cultural difference I notice is that weekends are much quieter here and most shops are closed. I did not receive any scholarship. Overall, I am satisfied with my university, course and country. My course is more theory - focused, I would be more satisfied if it included more practical subjects.
Likes (Indian Food): Indian food is easily available in my city. There are around 15-20 restaurants nearby, along with many other options such as Italian. Turkish, German, and Asian cuisines, so food variety is not an issue. The typical price at most of restaurants is about 15-20 euros per person. Personally, I prefer cooking at home because it is more economical. I usually eat outside only occasionally, mainly on special days. Grocery easily available here, which makes home cooking convenient.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The automotive market in Germany is currently going through a transition phase. Many automotive companies are reducing production in some areas and shifting certain operations to other countries. Because of these situations the job market has become more competitive compared to earlier years. I am studying International Automotive Engineering with a major in automotive safety and electronics. The opportunities after graduation are available, but they are becoming more niche and depend heavily on the automotive industry. Germany Offers 18 months jobs seeking visa after graduation. Many companies hire international graduates. I don't know the exact number of companies that formally sponsor work visas. Typical job roles offered in my field include functional safety, Testing and validation engineer, ADAS, System engineer and embedded systems. For fresher salary range is 45,000 to 60,000 euros per year.

Active and highly engaging classes.
Tips: You have to learn a lot of things on your own. Nobody will spoon feed you. There is no campus selection in any German university. All the professors are very supportive and knowledgeable. Start learning from the start. Never rely on online lectures only and always clear your doubts.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professor are or were working with the top companies and have hand on experience in their field and have awareness of what is really needed to become successful engineer. They are very helpful and encouraging to students. Basic knowledge of the topic is expected of them.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): For the last few years, the job market in germany is not that great especially in the automotive sector. There is a lot of competition and less openings in the company. If you are sure that you want to come, then learning German is beneficial.

Best place for international students who are looking to do masters in Automotive.
Tips: I would recommend learning German eventhough course is in English which would highly help in fetching an internship and work student. No strict class timings, friendly atmosphere, etc, will keep you motivated to learn and engage practically rather than reading only books.
Likes (Post study jobs): Part time job available as work student in college and outside college you can also find. Salary package depends on the job you get. In restaurant if you work for 4-5 hours per hour, it would be around 10-15 euros. If it's a work student, you would get around 450 per month.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I would prefer mensa (college canteen) where you get Bavarian food (local German food), so that you can plan and attend your classes accordingly. Of course you have the option to go to Indian restaurants nearby but expensive during college days. Nearby you will find different local restaurants and also Indian restaurants. But being a student, I would recommend mensa food which is good and you don't need to go outside the college as well.

Yes you won't need to appear for the test in person for most of the courses which require an aptitude test. For UG courses like Automobile Engineering Architecture, and PG courses such as AI or Electrical Engineering you need to appear for an aptitude test at THI.
