Can you help me in doing a master’s in Germany from scratch?

Ans: Hello,

First of all, it is great that you want to pursue a master’s degree from Germany and I think it's a fantastic choice. Germany offers high-quality education, especially in fields like engineering, business, and computer science, with many programs available in English. The best part is that public universities often have low or no tuition fees, making it a very affordable option. You’ll need to research universities offering your desired program, check admission requirements (like language proficiency through IELTS or TOEFL), and ensure you meet all the visa requirements. You may also want to consider securing housing, health insurance, and a part-time job to support your living costs. A study abroad consultant can be really helpful in guiding you through the application process, helping you with the necessary paperwork, and ensuring that you meet all deadlines. Germany is known for its strong job market, so pursuing your Master’s there could be a great investment for your future!

Dear Sir My daughter is currently in 2nd year of BCA . She wants to pursue her Masters from Germany public university I need to ask two questions Requirement of any English language Test Cost of living in Germany as I had seen no tution fee or very nominal fees is of that course
Ans: Hello Rakhi,

First and foremost, thank you for contacting us. I am extremely excited to hear that your daughter intends to pursue her Master's from Germany after the completion of her Bachelor’s degree in Computer Application. As as answer to both your queries, consider the following:

1. Prerequisites for English Language Test: Considering your query pertaining to any English language test requirement, I would like to inform you that Master's degree courses are offered in English by the majority of German universities. To secure admission to these programs, students are required to prove their English language competency. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and International English Language Testing System (IELTS) are the English language tests that are commonly accepted. Remember that each university and program has its unique score criteria. The particular programs and universities of your daughter’s choosing may have varying prerequisites for language proficiency, and thus, I recommend that you visit each university’s official website and look into the admission criteria.

2. Living Expenses in Germany: With regards to your second question pertaining to the cost of living in Germany, I would like to tell you that although international students are offered either tuition-free or very low cost of education by a number of German universities, it’s crucial to take into account the living expenses. Based on your daughter's way of life and the city she lives in, the living costs can differ. Some estimated monthly expenditures, however, are mentioned as under:

Cost of meals: Your daughter can expect to pay between €150 to €300 as the monthly expenses for groceries and meals.

Cost of Textbooks and Study Resources: I recommend that your daughter would need to keep aside €30 - €50 each month for the same.

Housing Costs: On deciding to study abroad, I feel that accommodation costs can be one of the most expensive charges. Based on the city, the rent per month for a shared flat or student dormitory can cost roughly between €300 to €600 on average.

Travel Costs: The cost of public transport can differ from city to city. Your daughter may need to pay monthly charges ranging from €30 to €80 for the same.

Medical Insurance: To study in Germany, obtaining a medical insurance is a necessity. Although the cost can differ, the typical monthly charges for students ranges from €80 to €100.

Other Expenditures: Other expenditures that your daughter may need to spend for include purchasing personal belongings, recreational activities, and any other unexpected costs. For the same, I recommend that she keep aside an extra €50 to €100 per month.

Based on the student’s lifestyle and the city he/she resides in, the total cost of living in Germany per month can typically range from €600 - €1,200. Please remember that these are just estimated values, the actual costs however, may differ. To help alleviate the high costs of studying in Germany, I recommend that you daughter looks into the available scholarship possibilities or part-time employment prospects. Since the costs of living can greatly differ between different German cities, I suggest that your daughter conducts an extensive study on the costs of studying in the city of her choosing.

I had taken admission in Allen Amritsar, but now I am deciding to shift to Allenn Kota reason being almost 3 hours of travelling daily and in search of a better environment for serious study and I have 2 options now, either I can choose a batch that is already going on like which I was studying here. I would continue studying there or the second option I have is I can take a newly started batch there so that I will be I will be ahead of everyone in the batch and I will be able to cover some extra books since I've already completed, the allen modules and I'll ahead of batch. It would be beneficial for me also, and so please suggest me. What are the pros and cons of it also and I have scored 99.6% in my boards in class, 10th CBSE and expectations from everyone are so high so please give some additional advice so that I can create the best life for me so that I can achieve my dream of IIT JEE 2027 under 500 rank, I'm currently in grade 11th.
Ans: Hello dear. Moving from Amritsar to Kota does not guarantee success. Stay in a calm and quiet place with a good teaching environment. Focus on completing the syllabus on time. Regularly appear for class tests, prepare your own notes, and solve previous years' question papers. Stay in touch with past successful students for more tips. Regularly participate in online tests conducted on various platforms. Be confident in yourself. Talk less and concentrate more on studies. Use scientific methods to crack the examination. Believe in yourself. Success and a bright future are awaiting you.
Best of luck.
