A 3 year Diploma in CSE just after 10th is a great path for lateral entry into B.Tech or BCA. If you do not want to graduate and want a job directly, you can get into roles like Junior Software Developer, Programmer, IT Support / Help Desk, Database Administrator, etc. Just make sure you acquire the proper skill set to be able to crack job interviews and have good networking for good referral opportunities.

To get an APS certificate is important for Indian students and it's processing can take 3 to 4 weeks. This processing time can even take longer during the peak seasons (it can be extended to 8 to12 weeks also).
To have a smooth application process, Indian students should try to apply for their APS at least 4 to 6 months before the TUM application deadline.
For example, ideally, this process should start in December or January for the Winter semester.

The Technical University of Munich checks the subject relevance very strictly for Indian students via an aptitude assessment process.
As an Indian student, the TUM admission process will involve a 'Curricular Analysis' which help in comparing your UG degree with the actual German requirements of the PG program.
To start, Indian applicants will be required to list their UG modules, credits and grades in a Curricular Analysis form, which is available in the TUMonline portal.
Doing it all yourself can be challenging; that is where Shiksha Toppers Counselling helps you. It helps in getting the best university available
