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.

Frequently Asked Questions

You will get answer to many of your questions that you wanted to ask or for which you were looking for guidance

  • How can I get the residence permit?

    Persons who are coming to Germany with a visa and who intend to stay for a longer period in Germany have to have a residence permit. The responsible authority therefore is the foreign office. For the residence permit you need a certificate of the enrollment from the university, the registration from the authorities, a proof of financing and a valid health insurance contract. A residence permit for the purpose of studying is issued for a period of two years and have to be extended before the two years run out. When you are going to extend your visa you always have to show them a valid insurance contract.

  • Why choose Germany to study in as a foreign student?

    Germany is considered a top study-abroad destination for students to study. This is because Germany has many excellent universities that are ranked highly, and it also has many cities that are full of history, cultural activities, and nightlife. This makes Germany an attractive place for students to study and live. In recent years, more and more international students have been choosing to study in Germany, and it has become the third most popular destination for them.

    Germany has a rich history and cultural heritage that is reflected in its cities. Many of these cities have old buildings, monuments, and museums that showcase the country�s past, which students can visit and learn from. The cities in Germany also have lively nightlife, with many bars, clubs, and restaurants to enjoy. And for those who appreciate art, Germany has many galleries and museums featuring famous works from artists around the world.

    In addition to all of these cultural offerings, Germany has many universities that are highly ranked and offer a wide range of academic programs. This gives students a variety of options when choosing where to study and what to study. With all of these factors combined, it is no surprise that Germany has become a top destination for international students.

  • Do I need a lot of money to finance my stay in Germany?

    867 euros a month is, on average, what you will need to cover your living costs as a student in Germany. You can expect to pay the following: a semester fee living costs (rent, food, clothing, books, telephone etc) health insurance and – depending on the German state in which you are located – tuition fees

    Further details

  • Will I be allowed to work while studying in Germany?

    A foreign (not a citizen of an EU or EEA member country with the exception of Bulgaria and Romania which face restrictions until 2014) student studying full-time in Germany is legally allowed to work a maximum of 120 full (or 240 half) days within a year, without having to obtain a permission from German employment authorities.
