The Technical University of Munich is the #1 ranked institution as per the Shiksha Popularity Rankings. Thus, it should come as no surprise, it prioritises students with better academic qualifications. The TU Munich has an acceptance rate of only 8%, which suggests the institute is very selective when it comes to admitting students.
Prospective students must perform really well in their past academics & university entrance exams to secure a seat at the institute.
