00:00Hey everyone!
00:01So I went down the rabbit hole of people also ask on Google and trust me, it is exactly
00:06what Indian students are searching for before applying to Germany.
00:09Whether it has course, exams, PR or jobs, I am breaking it down simply.
00:15Let's go question by question.
00:17Section 1.
00:18Costs, Fees and Scholarships Let's start with the first question.
00:23How much does it cost to study in Germany?
00:25Here is a good part, tuition is mostly free at public universities.
00:31But you need around 11,904 euros to be precise in your blocked account for your visa.
00:37That's roughly about 10.7 lakh rupees.
00:40This does not include rent, food or travel and living costs can go up to 900 to 1700 euros
00:47per month depending on your city.
00:50So yeah, Germany is affordable but not cheap.
00:54Plan your finances well.
00:55Can I study in Germany with 10 lakh rupees total?
00:59If you are frugal, maybe but it will be tight because it's mostly your blocked account and
01:05you will still need funds for daily expenses unless you are earning while studying.
01:10Can I get a full scholarship?
01:12Definitely possible.
01:13TAD is the most well known one.
01:16Also check Hendrik Buell, Erasmus+, and University Level 1s.
01:20But they are competitive.
01:22You need a strong academic profile and killer SOPs.
01:26Apply early and customize your SOPs.
01:28Don't send in a one-size-fits-all essay.
01:31Moving on to section 2.
01:33Exams and eligibility.
01:34Question 1.
01:35Is IELTS mandatory?
01:37Yes.
01:38For English taught programs, aim for a 6.5 plus band score.
01:43And if you are going for a German taught program, you will need test DAF or DSH scores.
01:48Which exams are needed overall?
01:50Let's discuss that.
01:51Most of your silos are TOEFL.
01:53However, some universities may ask for GRE or GMAT for masters.
01:57And now, Indian students must submit an APS certificate before a visa.
02:02This verifies your academics.
02:04A pro tip.
02:05Apply for APS 6-8 weeks before applying to a university.
02:09Can I apply with 50% marks in 12th?
02:12Let's get to it.
02:14Not for public universities.
02:15You may need to do a student colleague, a one-year prep course.
02:19Some private universities may admit you, but they charge tuition.
02:23Don't lose hope.
02:24Just research which path fits your academic background.
02:28Section 3.
02:29Family, Funds and Sponsorship.
02:31Who can sponsor my education?
02:33Let's answer that.
02:34Well, some options are a blocked account, a formal sponsor in Germany, scholarship or both.
02:42But remember, German consulates verify every document.
02:46So don't fake your finances.
02:48Can I bring my family?
02:50Yes, spouse and kids.
02:52But you must show additional funds and proof of stable housing.
02:56And at times, language proof may also be needed for spouses.
03:01Can my parents stay with me long term?
03:05Let's answer that now.
03:07Unfortunately, no.
03:09Parents can visit you on a short term visa, but they can't live with you permanently.
03:14And if family is a major concern, plan visits around semester breaks.
03:18Section 4.
03:20Jobs, Part-Time and Post-Study.
03:22Can I work while studying?
03:24Absolutely.
03:25Up to 20 hours per week during term.
03:28That's 120 full days or 240 half days a year.
03:32Oh, and internships tied to your degree don't count in this limit.
03:36What's the usual pay?
03:37On average, 10 to 15 euros per hour.
03:40From 2026, Germany's minimum wage goes up to 13.90 euros per hour.
03:45What about job opportunities after completing my degree in Germany?
03:49Let's discuss.
03:50STEM grads are in demand.
03:52IT, data, electrical and mechanical engineering.
03:56Healthcare is booming too.
03:57And after graduation, you get 18 months to find a job.
04:02Make most of it.
04:03What is the process of PR in Germany?
04:06With a blue card, you can apply for a PR in about 21 to 33 months.
04:10Without it, it might take 4 to 5 years.
04:12You will need German language skills till B1 level and social integration proof.
04:17Start learning German during your course.
04:20It pays off big time.
04:22Section 5.
04:23Life in Germany and citizenship.
04:25Is Germany a good place to live?
04:27Yes.
04:28Safe, clean, efficient and great healthcare.
04:32Student life is also lively.
04:34Especially in Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt.
04:36Moving on to the next question which is, can I get a citizenship in Germany?
04:41A new law in 2025 allows dual citizenship.
04:44If integrated, you can apply for it in just 3 to 5 years.
04:48Are kids born in Germany automatically German?
04:51Only if at least one parent has lived there legally for 5 plus years
04:55and has a permanent residency.
04:57So no, being born in Germany doesn't automatically mean passport rights.
05:02What is red card visa in Germany?
05:04First of all, there is nothing known as red card visa in Germany for study or work purposes.
05:10This must be a confusion with other countries' systems or slang terms perhaps.
05:15Let's address the final question.
05:17What is the new law in Germany in 2025?
05:19The major new law expected in 2025 is the modernization of the German Citizenship Act
05:24which aims to facilitate naturalization and generally permit dual citizenship.
05:29Also, potentially easier routes for skilled workers.
