Hi Pragam,
Yes you are right, public colleges are free and highly competitive. Because they are free does not mean you can secure an admission there but the opposite. Extremely high academic marks are required to get into German universities. You must also know that some programs and courses may incur a fee, not all is free. Very minimal tuition fee is required in this case. You can refer to this website and learn more about studying in Germany, the various universities, fees, scholarships etc. https://www.daad.in/en/.

The main criteria is high academic percentage, so you got to focus on your studies and score high. Since you are applying for a Master's programme, you are expected to have a very strong research oriented background or at least you must display interest in research. Terrific projects, demonstration of innovative ideas, papers, patents etc. Are very important for a master degree applicant. You should also know some German language, it is not mandatory but still advisable to build your profile. Recommendation letters from your professors, internship supervisors etc. must be excellent.

Hi Samridhi,
GATE scores are accepted by German institutions. Your academics are good but a higher percentage in B.Tech would somehow have been better. None the less, apply. Take the IELTS too. Besides the GATE score and your B.Tech percentage, universities will also check your internship quality, projects, research, patents if any, publications etc. It's a highly competitive process in Germany. Good luck.
