Depends on what you're good at. In my opinion, translating the other language from your native language is easier because when you understand the meaning of the sentence, it gets easier to speak.

Being good in German certainly opens up more job opportunities to Indian students in roles where language is important such as- Teaching and Retail.

Many public universities in Germany ask for higher marks, especially in popular courses. But if the course doesn't have NC (Numerus Clausus), and your other documents are strong, you still have a chance.

No, not really. Most MS in Computer Science in Germany programs are in English. But if you know some German, it helps you in finding part-time jobs or talking to local people. For jobs after study, knowing German can be useful too.
