Weather in Deutschland and scholarship
Tips: After coming here to Germany, summer will be a blessing, winter is manageable, and April-May is basically four seasons in a day—unpredictable. Mostly fewer people will get scholarships through the DAAD website. The allowance will depend on which scholarship you got.
Likes (Value for money): Compared to other states like Baden-Württemberg, THI has lower fees and provides strong academic knowledge as well. There'll be a social contribution of 72 euros apart from your curriculum fee. For our batch 2025-2026, the semester fee is 500. Probably for the upcoming semester, it will increase.
Dislikes (Part time work): Too many students for few vacancies. Getting a thesis or work-study is a bit difficult on campus. The opening will be posted on the university website or as posters outside labs. Off-campus, unless you have a B1 level in Germany, it is kind difficult to get in. Pay will be mostly 1500€ for part-time and around 2200€ for internship before tax.

A rewarding experience that demands high independance and German Language skills
Tips: Transitioning was quite an experience. You have to be really independent to be able to get things done, be it studies, travel, or anything. Language is a must. Though many people in larger cities speak English, that will not be the case everywhere. In order to get any kind of part-time or student position jobs, they really need you to know German. I have not availed scholarships, but getting a part-time or working student position will be really helpful for you to learn language and to extend your visa as well. I am pretty satisfied with my course content and structure. But sadly the curriculum and the structure have changed for the intake that started after us. Getting into the course itself has become really competitive now.
Likes (Public transportation): Frequent bus connectivity throughout the city is available. There are 2 train stations close to the city for easier travel to other cities. There are only taxis, rental e-scooters, public buses and trains; sadly we do not have trams here. As a student, having a Deutschland ticket is really affordable compared to the individual ticket rates for buses and trains.

Highly structured course that prepares you for the future, but you must drive your own success.
Tips: German universities are big on independent learning, so you really have to manage your own schedule, prep for lectures ahead of time, and handle your assignments with barely any hand-holding. On top of that, learning German up to a B2 level either before or while you're here is a massive help for landing good student gigs. Moving here was pretty smooth overall, though finding a place to live and dealing with the city registration (Anmeldung) can definitely feel overwhelming at first.
I didn't get a scholarship myself since my course doesn't have tuition fees anyway. Like most international students here, I just cover my living costs by working part-time student jobs. That said, there are options like DAAD or the Deutschlandstipendium out there that can help save some cash.
Honestly, I'm really happy with how things are going. The coursework is super well-structured and focuses exactly on the kind of modern tech rolling into the auto sector right now. Even though Germany is famous for being an automotive powerhouse all the recent news about the industry going through a massive shakeup can be a bit intimidating. But at the end of the day, if you have a lot of personal initiative, stay proactive, and adapt to these new technologies, it’s not that hard to bridge the gap and land some great career opportunities.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): If I decide to stay here permanently, my chances are honestly pretty high. Graduating with an automotive engineering degree from a German uni puts me right in the middle of one of the biggest sectors in the country's economy. As long as I stay proactive, land an engineering gig within my 18-month job-seeker visa window, and actually put in the effort to master the language, the visa rules make getting permanent residency super achievable.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I gave it a 3-star rating because even though the job openings are definitely out there, the market right now is super tough and competitive. The German auto industry is going through a massive shakeup at the moment, shifting away from old-school manufacturing and focusing heavily on electric cars and software. Because of that, companies have really slowed down their hiring and are being incredibly picky about who they take. Plus, while the university gives you a really solid technical foundation, actually landing a job is completely on you—it all comes down to your own networking, past experience, and German language skills.

Bittersweet way of Life.
Tips: New non-EU students have a heavy tuition fee of €1572 per semester. And for a small city like Ingolstadt, the cost of living is definitely high compared to eastern German cities. But then again, you’re in Bavaria, which is easily one of the most stunning parts of the country anyway.
Likes (Student Life): So many options to connect with students and enjoy. They organize programs every week. Lots and lots of diverse activities. Student groups and the Erasmus group are very strong here. Due to the Deutschland ticket, it is very easy to visit a lot of places in Bavaria on one-day trips, which feels straight out of Fairy Tale.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Not enough authentic restaurants. To be precise, none. But some frozen items at stores could be okay. (North Indian). Literally zero South Indian options. The restaurants we have (a pretty decent number for a small town) are around 5-6. But all of them are as bad as it gets.

A place where studies & exams are not stressful.
Tips: Indian students need to change their mentality of memorising and passing exams. In Germany professors expect you to learn everything rather than just memorize. Exams are very different in India and mainly focused on problem-solving. Aids are also provided in exams so that students won't have to remember lengthy formulas.
Likes (Value for money): There are no tuition fees at THI, but a service fee is charged, which is not much as compared to other countries or private universities in Germany. The mentioned service fees might have changed in 2025, so please check once. The facilities provided by the university totally justify the service fees.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Visa sponsorships are very rare, as the cost of a visa is not much, and one can easily handle it on their own. Permanent full-time job roles are very limited and not easily achievable. Salary packages for freshers are around 50-60k per year. Most freshers get the job roles in junior engineer positions. These jobs are often contract-based and are highly volatile in today's market. Getting a job on company payroll is extremely difficult for core engineering roles. Engineering & Management roles are easily available. The most important tip is to learn German till at least B1.
