4.7
Lifelong memories, learnings and friends.
Tips: I did not choose the scholarship as I did not want to serve a bond at the time. The transition was quite easy since the local people are very nice, food options are plentiful and everything in general is quite streamlined making it a fantastic country to live in. There were plenty of Indians in my batch which further helped me to adapt faster and helped me find a home away from home.
Likes (Indian Food): Almost every major hostel has a food court, which would consist of multiple different cuisines at subsidised rates. On average a meal used to cost me 6-10 dollars on campus with plenty of Indian, Western, Korean and local stalls spread across campus.
Dislikes (Part time work): A lot of career fairs and events are organised by NTU where prospective employers look for promising candidates for both part time and full time jobs. In addition, a lot of opportunities exist via job search platforms like LinkedIn, JobStreet and Indeed. I myself did internships which I was able to find through LinkedIn.

Great for smart people and hard workers.
Tips: It is not easy to score well so if you’re coming to learn a lot and do well, then great. If you’re looking for an easy experience overseas, then this is not the best option for you. You will have to work over weekends and public holidays to get your assignments done and study for mid terms, etc. It’s a good university but you may occasionally experience racist remarks as a brown person.
Likes (Safety): It’s generally safe for men and women; of course, there are occasional crimes. You can roam anywhere, day or night and are rarely the victim of harassment or robbery. That being said, as with any place, you have to take responsibility for your own safety.
Dislikes (Internships): There was not enough guidance or options. Not much support from the school to source internships. The school just invites companies to come set up booths and showcase, etc., but it works more for some faculties than others. If you are in engineering, then this would not be an issue for you.

Faculty is amazing, approachable and easy to interact with.
Tips: Many cultural shifts. Although there are a ton of Indians natively in the country, there still are some differences in the mannerisms, food and thoughts. There are no scholarships. I am very satisfied with my university, the course, the amenities it provided and the faculty and friends I integrated with.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty is amazing, approachable and easy to interact with. They are always there to help you out and if nothing you can always find a professor to hear you out. The most unique teaching experience was a class test I gave which had no right answers and everyone arrived at different solutions. Pretty cool way to check concepts and also avoid copying since there was no point. Mostly Singaporean and Chinese with a mix of a few Indians, Australians, Europeans, Japanese, etc.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is not too difficult if you are able to find a job post Masters, but it can be difficult to find a job given the market. My chances are 50 percent. I need to work a few more years to make it 100%.

A good course especially for those looking to enter semiconductor manufacturing jobs.
Tips: Singapore is a very nice place to study and live, especially for Indian students. Scholarships may be available for this M.Sc. course through the TUM DAAD fellowship. This covers a significant part of the tuition fees. They are competitive and based on your performance.
Likes (Quality of faculty): For this course, very good staff from Singapore and TU Munich handled the lessons. While they are a bit intense, it gives a very good balance between two different styles of teaching and examination. The faculty in all cases are senior researchers and put in good effort.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): In Singapore, there is only a short post-study visa, so one is under pressure to find a job towards the end of the course. The PR process is also a little difficult, and it may take a few years. However, there are usually jobs available at the graduate level to sustain oneself.
