Technical University Munich acceptance rate is merely 8%, which makes it an extremely competitive university to get into. In comparison with the RWTH Aachen acceptance rate of 10%, TUM can be considered a bit more selective in their admission criteria. As listed, getting into TU Munich is selective. Hence, students must excel in academics in order to boost their chances. Apart from this, students who are outstanding in activities outside class also stand a good chance to secure an admission.

RWTH Aachen University takes a holistic approach when it comes to admissions. Hence, applicants are evaluated for overall academic as well as extra-curricular performance, instead of a particular segment. In order to get into the university, students must excel academically and they must showcase unique talent and work experiences in their resume/cv.
