Studying in a TU9 university but with a mildly experience.
Tips: Transitioning was not that difficult. You have a really big Indian community and you never feel far from home. You also make a lot of international friends and get to know a lot of things. I don't have a scholarship and I am mildly satisfied with my university. The country is extremely safe for people.
Likes (Internships): There are a lot of automobile companies to get internships into but no guidance is available. You have to do it on your own. Professors only care about teaching you. You can get an assistantship under them which will enhance your resume for future internships.
Dislikes (Value for money): The university's fees are too high for the quality of education you can get at any other university. The pressure of paying the fees hampers the study as you have to do a lot of part-time work to pay for it. The pressure is not worth the output you get in terms of education. It's good but it's the same provided in a university without the fee.

Understand your study programme before joining the university.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that eating out is expensive. However, there are plenty of supermarkets and Indian stores nearby where you can buy groceries and cook for yourself, which is more affordable than eating at the cafeteria or restaurants. The meals are priced according to German restaurant rates, which are not affordable for students. The work and research done at the university are extraordinary and mostly government projects. The connection built is also remarkable. The faculty are highly knowledgeable and are available at all times so you can just reach out to them in case of any doubt or query. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.

You should have very good German proficiency than your skills.
Tips: Nothing works here without fluency in German. You have to be responsible for upskilling yourself. Unless it is a compulsory internship, you won't get any help from the university for a voluntary internship. Learn German to mingle with the locals and get good jobs in the country.
Likes (Public transportation): With a Deutschland ticket, you get to travel all over Germany for 49 Euros. Stuttgart city has many connectivity options unlike other small cities, where sometimes the last bus will be at 7 pm and you will have to manage on your own afterwards. Long-distance Flixtrains are also cheaper.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Germany is under recession so it is hard to get jobs. The syllabus in university is outdated so you need to upskill on your own. The department never allows you to take a thesis in the company and the thesis topics in the departments are not industry-ready.

Stuttgart - A tech hub but not the best place to study.
Tips: Students should know about the mandatory tuition fees for international students in Baden Wurttemberg Universities. Also, mandatory internships are only required for some courses. On the plus side, the course structures are very flexible and diverse, and the city of Stuttgart is a great place to find a job, both during and after your studies.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Once you get a job after graduation, the settlement process is smooth as it is easy to get a PR in Germany. It is a very good place to settle but you need to know the basic German language to integrate and socialize well in your workplace, living area and others.
Dislikes (Internships): My course does not offer a mandatory internship. We have to take a semester break and do a voluntary internship. No guidance from the universities, we need to search our own since it does not contribute to the course. Also doing a voluntary internship will use up all the working days according to our work permit for students.

It's is nice, safe and you can get quite exposure.
Tips: The studies for Masters is quite stressful but it is quite flexible too, with which not everyone might be comfortable. Part-time jobs are plentiful, and you get them within months. Public transportation is affordable, convenient and available at any time. I am totally satisfied with all the facilities. Germany and BW are in general a good place to study.

Go to a tuition free university instead.
Tips: Self-reliance and the importance of upskilling are a must for students. Even though you can get part-time jobs while studying at this university, the amount you earn will go directly to your tuition, and the city is expensive compared to other small cities. RWTH is in Aachen, which is a better university and a cheaper city to live in.
Likes (Public transportation): Deutschland ticket makes it easier to travel across Germany for just 49 Euros per month except for high-speed long-distance trains like ICE. The trains in Germany are known to be late but let us be honest, only in Germany you can travel for this cheap. If you need high-speed trains for a low price, take Flixtrain for less than 10 Euros.
Dislikes (Value for money): The university is situated in one of the two states in Germany where they charge fees per semester and for the fees they charge we don't get enough benefits. The syllabus is outdated and is not up to the industry's needs. Professors are not helpful to students.
