Message of His Excellency Mr. Ajit Gupte, Ambassador of India to Germany

Dear Students,

As I take up my new position as the Ambassador of India to Germany, I am delighted to learn that Indian students form the largest cohort of international students in Germany. At almost 50,000, the number of Indian students choosing Germany as their preferred academic destination has risen significantly during the last few years.

As the Indian student community expands, there is also an increase in the number of queries we have received about admissions, academics, life in Germany, job-opportunities, regulations for part-time work and more. To answer these queries and provide other necessary information at your fingertips, the Indian Embassy has revamped the Indian Students in Germany portal (https://indianstudentsingermany.org) with a view to supporting both current and prospective students from India. We urge all students to register on the platform to benefit from all that it offers.

The updated portal provides enhanced networking features, including a details ISG organogram, information about job opportunities, internships, accommodation listings, cultural events, and scholarships. It also facilitates connections with Indian professors, diaspora groups, student associations, S&T organisations and the Indian Embassy.

The portal also includes valuable advisories and guidance, which can help students integrate better into life in Germany and become informed members of society. It will further help the Embassy officials in reaching out to you, especially int times of distress. The success of the portal will depend on its members and active participants who will act as sources of information and guidance.

I encourage all students to become active participants of this online Indian student community and hope that it becomes an invaluable resource for all those looking to start their careers and lives in Germany.
