4.6

Academic excellence and innovation.

Tips: I had a lot of changes after coming here. My German and English languages improved a lot. I got a scholarship called Deutschland Stiphendium. I avail every month an amount of 300 Euros. I am 80 Percent satisfied with the university, 100 percent satisfied with the course and 70 percent satisfied with the country.

Likes (Student Life): I love my college. It has a great infrastructure, good faculty members, and so on. There are job fair events, cultural events, and so on. There are various communities and student clubs like language clubs, and so on. I have a lot of international friends and spend time with them during the week.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer to cook for myself, but there are very few restaurants here, and the ones that do serve Indian food are very expensive. I sometimes order food from Uber Eats, and when I have assignments or am working on my thesis, I rely on Uber Eats. Fortunately, I have a good job that allows me to spend money on food.

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Mechanical Engineering (In German) - Batch of 2025

4.6

The best university in Germany, that comes at the price of being extremely challenging.

Tips: The courses are very interesting and taught in-depth, but the exams are very challenging for every course. There are often exams with above 50% of the attendees failing the exam. But one can be assured that when you pass subjects here, you will be well versed in the subject.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): The German government has recently made changes to make immigration easier. The new law also makes sitting in Germany easier. While I am not very versed in the intricacies of this law, it has been much discussed in the public domain and is common knowledge to all.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are many Indian restaurants in Munich, but they tend to be expensive. The food is usually very tasty, and there are good takeout options as well. You can find Indian food from almost all regions of India in Munich.

3.4

A diverse and empowering student life with pragmatic challenges.

Tips: Not much difference has happened to me. I learned a new language. I have not availed of any scholarships. But there are scholarships to which I have applied and my friends received them. The allowance is around 300 Euros/month. I am fully satisfied and happy.

Likes (Student Life): College days are truly refreshing as they offer the chance to meet new people from diverse cultures which I find exciting. I actively participate in events like IKOM, Sustainability Day and events like IFAT. There are also clubs for language learning, planting sees, excursions and many more.

Dislikes (Indian Food): As a student from south India in Munich, I struggle to find authentic Indian food as local Indian restaurants are expensive and lack authenticity. I prefer cooking but due to lack of time, affordable options like McDonald's or ready-made packets are helpful.

Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Management - Batch of 2025

4.7

Great university and a beautiful place to explore your potential.

Tips: I did two internships, related to management and took up some online courses. No, I didn't apply for any scholarship I am totally satisfied with the university, course and the country. I get to study at the top university, with such an incredible student base from around the world. Get to travel a lot.

Likes (Public transportation): Everything here is well connected to each other. We have buses, tramps, underground metro, S-Bahns. It's pretty cheap here, the Deutschland ticket helps as it's subsidized in Bayern because for me the semester ticket doesn't include transport. Connectivity to and from the university is good.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Right now the job market is on a hiring freeze so entering in right now is quite hard. Also, the language here plays an important role. The job roles are either as a working student or as an intern. The hourly rate is around 14-15 Euros depending on the company and the job.

Master of Science in Communications and Electronics Engineering - Batch of 2025

4.1

TUM is a great college with great connections and good quality education.

Tips: Students should know that the exams are not going to be easy to crack. The University is good and provides you with an extremely independent life. A lot of hard work and study are required to excel in everything. Internship opportunities are widely available. Being in a city should not be a problem in computing and it is flexible enough to extend your semesters. Overall I am fully content and satisfied.

Likes (Public transportation): One ticket and we can travel anywhere in Germany using their public transport. Every campus has either a subway station or a bus station. My campus is well connected and very near to the city centre from where most of the trains depart and it is extremely affordable.

Dislikes (Internships): Internships are easily available at the university and even companies offer them. You can approach your seniors or batch mates, that's the best way to get any information regarding any internships or working student opportunities.

The university provides with the opportunities to grow and explore in your course of studies.

Tips: Before joining this college students should know that there will be cultural shifts but one should be able to manage. There was no tuition fee until the summer 2024 intake but starting the winter 2024 intake they have started charging tuition fees however, there are exceptions available which you can check by visiting the university's website. The University, course and country are nice but knowing German is key and could very well be the difference between liking it or not. A popular scholarship is available which is called Deutschlandstipendium for 300/month. Check out the DAAD website for more details.

Likes (Safety): Munich is regarded as one of the safest cities in Europe. Although it's a given you need to be careful with your belongings so far I haven't had any instances that I would consider threatening. As a student, you will also get a travel ticket that allows travel throughout Germany by public transport.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food is not very common in Mensa (which is the alternative to a Canteen) however, there are a lot of Indian restaurants throughout the city. A visit can cost anywhere between 15-50. I generally prefer cooking myself as being from Assam, India I generally prefer less spicy food. Also cooking by yourself helps keep monthly expenses low.
