Often, yes. Many companies give a 13th month salary or Weihnachtsgeld (Christmas bonus) in November. Some also give Urlaubsgeld for summer holidays. Always check your job contract to be sure about these extra payments.

Usually, a German Grade of 2.5 is safe. This is equal to roughly 70% to 75% in the Indian system. Some universities like THWS might accept lower grades if you have good work experience.

No, it is not hard to get admission in German Public Universities. All you need is to choose the right university. If you apply to NC-free universities you will get admission easily. But you need to meet minimum admission requirements.

Yes, for the German taught programs at RWTH Aachen, international students are required to prove their German language proficiency. The exams that one can take are TestDAF TDN 4, C1 Telc/Goethe or DSH-2. 

These students will need a C1 level to pass and apply for RWTH courses. Although if you are applying for an English taught program, you would only need to sit for exams like IELTS, TOEFL or PTE. Given below are the minimum scores expected from you -

Goethe-Institut are expensive. They charge around ₹28,500 for just one level (like A1). So to reach B1 level, you will spend nearly 1 Lacs rupees. But if you join some local private coaching in your city, fees will be less, maybe ₹10,000 to ₹15,000. And if you learn from YouTube, it is totally free of cost, you just need internet connection.

There are two main ways to do this. You can join a professional institute like Goethe-Institut (Max Mueller Bhavan). They are the official ones and teachers are very good. Second option is self-study which many students are doing now. You can watch YouTube channels like "Learn German" or use apps like Duolingo. If you are serious, complete A1 and A2 level online by yourself to save money, and then join classes for advanced levels.

Yes, international students who are going for the UG courses are required to speak and understand German language as the main teaching is done in this. The students can't even apply before they submit the proof of German language proficiency which needs to be done by taking tests like TestDaF with a minimum score of 4 in all four sections or Goethe-Zertifikat C1 with at least 80 points.

Yes, for Master degree, many universities offer courses in English. You don't need German language for class. But for daily life, like shopping or talking to the landlord, learning basic A1 or A2 level German is very helpful. For Bachelor courses, it is hard to find English options, they ask for C1 German.
