Overall university campus and Ingolstadt city for students is very safe and relaxing clean and good
Tips: The course is great, with new thinking and new learning, more practical communication, presentation, and projects great for exposure and exploring the new studies. It's not very technical or complex or mathematical; subjects are easy to score. You need more of an extrovert personality, innovation, design thinking, mindset, communication, and leadership. These kinds of skills will be developed.
Likes (Safety): Very safe. Ingolstadt as a city is a very good place to live: relaxing, clean, and safe, with low to no crime rates and fewer illegal migrants. Mostly students, families, and working professional people are there, so it's a very good, safe environment. Ingolstadt, I would say, is a great city for students.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Fewer companies also. There is no direct placement like in India, so you have to find your own job, and I don't know about the future or past. Right now the job market is at its worst, especially if you don't have enough experience—I mean, at least 3-5 years for freshers—and especially without German skills (fluent); it's almost impossible to find a full-time job. That's a harsh reality.

Fun Learning Journey towards new technology
Tips: Be prepared for independent study, better time management, and cultural adjustment. Self-study is very important here. Research scholarship early and plan your finance carefully. Overall, my experience is positive and rewarding. Keep in mind, changing according to situation is the best defense in foreign.
Likes (Internships): I have got my internship in just two weeks, and then it will get easier for the next working student jobs. But the marketeer tighter later. Like the last working student, I have spent 3 months roughly. And the job conversion to full time is really less.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Almost no restaurant available from my country. And there are some in Munich, which takes at least one and a half hours to reach. By the way, there are some Indian shops where the taste is close but not exact. By the way, I also like to explore food from other countries.

TH ingolstadt Germany review
Tips: Start learning German immediately—it's pretty much non-negotiable if you want to land a proper job here. While campus life is manageable in English, you'll hit a wall trying to get hired without solid German skills. On the plus side, Ingolstadt's location right next to Munich opens up tons of Werkstudent (working student) roles in tech and industry. For daily expenses, local part-time gigs in retail, cafes, or restaurants are fairly easy to grab while you look for something in your field."

Excellent experience as a student the city is well connected to various major
Tips: The biggest academic shock at THI is how German exams work. Coming from systems where long, descriptive paragraphs get you marks, here it’s all about precise, one-liner facts and direct bullet points. Once you adapt to that style, it makes so much more sense. On the personal side, I didn't get any scholarships, so I self-funded my studies, which is pretty common for international students here. The university staff and international office are super helpful whenever you hit a bump with admin work. Plus, Ingolstadt's location is a huge bonus—it's incredibly well-connected by train to Munich and Nuremberg, making travel and day trips effortless.

Overall nice experience for student life at THI
Tips: Yes, the biggest challenge is speaking German in day-to-day life as well as for finding jobs or internships. No, I did not receive any scholarship. But my course fees were very low—around 70 Euros per semester. I am satisfied with the overall student life in Germany. However course contents could be improved, according to me
Likes (Safety): The city of Ingolstadt is safe for students to live in. I am not aware of the exact facilities that ensure students' safety. But when compared to Indian cities, I can say that Ingolstadt is very safe to stay in. It is especially safe for female students even at night.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I rated post-study jobs low because even though the tech roles exist on paper—like data engineer, ML engineer, and data scientist with solid starting salaries around €60k gross—actually landing one right now is brutal. Ingolstadt has big companies and visa sponsors around, but with the current market slowdown, full-time openings for new grads are extremely scarce. Most companies simply aren't hiring fresh international grads directly into full-time roles like they used to.

Great academic experience with good career opportunities
Tips: Students should be prepared for interviews with faculty and management for entering into the university after applying There are too many sponsorship opportunities in university; one can get information from Admin or information desk The course is structured very well.
Likes (Part time work): I gave part-time work a full 5/5 stars because landing a student job in Ingolstadt is surprisingly smooth, especially compared to bigger, oversaturated German cities. The biggest advantage here at THI is our proximity to major industrial players like Audi and its massive ecosystem of automotive suppliers, tech firms, and engineering consultancies. They are constantly looking for Werkstudenten (working student roles) in engineering, IT, business analytics, and supply chain. Beyond corporate roles, there are always research assistant jobs (HiWi positions) on campus, plus standard retail and service jobs around town if your German is still at a basic level. The 20-hour-per-week cap during term time makes it easy to balance work with lectures without burning out, and the pay—usually anywhere from €13 to €18+ an hour depending on the role—easily covers your monthly rent and living expenses while building solid industry experience.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I rated 3 because, although there are good opportunities after graduation, finding the right job can still take time. The availability of jobs depends on the field, experience, and German language proficiency. Overall opportunities are positive, but there are still challenges.

Scoring 72 percentile is around 50 to 60 marks. If you're targeting 125 marks, then focus on covering important and high weightage topics. Solve mock tests and previous year papers.
