• Other programmes: The required IELTS/TOEFL score can be different.

Yes, but direct admission is not guaranteed. Your Class 12 qualification must meet German university-entry rules. Depending on your qualification, you may need Studienkolleg or one year of Bachelor's study before applying. For Indian students, the current pathway requires 70% in Class 12 for the relevant routes from Winter 2026/27.

Yes, Indian students can get into TU Braunschweig if they meet the academic, language, and programme-specific requirements.

UG applicants need a recognised qualification. PG applicants generally need a relevant Bachelor's degree. APS and other documents may also be required.

Yes, RWTH Aachen is one of 10 universities of Excellence in Germany. It received the "University of Excellence" title in 2007, which it retained throughout subsequent funding rounds (2012, 2019, and ongoing evaluations). 

Here is how the University of Excellence status separates RWTH Aachen from standard German universities:

• RWTH Aachen receives extra annual research funding worth EUR 10 to EUR 15 million from the German federal government and the federal state
• Operates high-tech labs with better quality of equipments, large-scale testing facilities, and pilot plans to rival private industry R&D centers

Indian students describe their life as "vibrant, hectic, but worth the time and money" as part of student reviews of RWTH Aachen University on Shiksha Study Abroad. 

Arpit Pandey (MSc in Smart Production Engineering student, 2026 Batch), had the following to say about his student life experience at RWTH Aachen Germany:

"There are lot of events happening throughout the semester to meet with people and interact with people from different countries. Also the variety of events that happen here means everyone can find their own crowd. There's music, club parties, food events, and sports events, and so much more."

RWTH Aachen is known for being one of Germany's elite and the largest technial universities (with 44,000+ students enrolled) and its strong engineering and research programs.

• TU9 Member: One of the 9 best technical universities in Germany under the TU9 Alliance
• Research Volume: German university with the largest external third-party research funding for engineering from DFG (German Research Foundation)
• Industry Connections: Strong ties with industry partners like Accenture, Bosch, BMW, DHL Group, and Bain & Company

Yes, RWTH Aachen is one of the best universities for engineering in Germany and Europe, for the following reasons:

• Ranks among top 5 universities in Germany for Mechanical Engineering (#2), Mining Engineering (#2), Chemical Engineering (#4), and Electrical Engineering (#4)
• Tie-ups with BMW, Bosch, Siemens, and Phillips for research, internship, and full-time job opportunities
• Massive research budget (annual budget worth EUR 1,264 million for 2025)
• Access to 4 Fraunhofer Institutes on campus

Yes, KIT charges a flat EUR 1,500 per semester regardless of degree level. While TU Munich charges EUR 4,000–6,000 per semester for master's programs.

Both are competitive, but TU Munich's admits tend to be more selective for popular master's programmes given its higher overall QS ranking and application volume. KIT's non-restricted programmes offer comparatively more accessible entry points for well-qualified applicants, though its NC (restricted) engineering and computer Science programmes remain competitive.
