University of Stuttgart: POV!

In Germany I applied for the following: University of Stuttgart Technical University of Munich (TUM) RWTH Aachen My status:  University of Stuttgart – Admitted TUM – Admitted RWTH Aachen – Admitted Of course I applied to a lot of other universities all over the world. I did get rejections from them. But that's over 50 universities. Probably not a good idea to list them here. I chose these universities because they are considered the best in Germany, offering high-quality research and excellent industry connections. Winter Semester. I applied for the Winter Semester (October). Most programmes start then, and the timing fits well with my graduation and visa preparations. I applied in November, and by January–February I had already received my admission offer. The remaining months were for enrolment, housing, and visa formalities before classes began in October. I don't exactly remember the timeline. It has been a couple of years. But the visa took around 1 month from the Kolkata embassy. The earlier you apply for accommodation, the better....Read More

Uni stuttgart was not my option; this opportunity came to me and I accepted. My overall experience is okayish. I didn't get a lot of chances to be part of something else in the university, mainly because of covid times, and there were not many events happening. So after many years there, I still feel I was not part of anything there....Read More

I have applied to four universities and received admission from three of them. TU Hamburg – Received admission in Microelectronics and Microsystems. Schmalkalden university of Applied Sciences—Received admission in Mechatronics and Robotics University of Siegen—Rejected for the Erasmus Masters in Embedded Systems. I have primary experience in VLSI and my coursework in bachelor's is also focused on VLSI. I believe this could be one of the reasons for my rejection, as they required exposure to Embedded systems and Robotics. I also feel that I did not make a strong application, as this was lower on my priority list. University of Stuttgart—Received admission in Electrical Engineering, which I'm currently pursuing. Got rejected for Computer Science as my profile did not match with the course requirements. I have chosen the University of Stuttgart because it has good master's programs and strong industrial connections. It also has strong international student support and getting a master's degree from this University is valued by top companies. The admission process was fairly simple. Applicants need to register in the CAMPUS portal and apply for their desired program in the same portal. The portal guides on all the application steps and the documents required. Once the application is done, the committee reviews your profile and communicates the result through email. The eligibility criteria for the English-speaking master's program are to have an IELTS score of at least 7 for confirmed admission. GRE and other scores are not required for STEM-related fields. You also require an APS certificate for the admission of international students. The overall admission process was simple and very fast. The admission results are generally announced around January for Winter Semester. This makes other processes, such as Visa, etc., much smoother. I have applied to Winter intake in October 2024. I started my application process around April 2023, when I received my APS certificate. The deadline for application is usually June-July 2023. It is best to apply for the APS certificate in advance; it's better to have it by March. The application results took around six months and the admission result was announced around January 2024. Once a candidate has gotten the admission, they have to complete the enrollment process in the CAMPUS portal by October/November. This can also be done once the candidate has arrived at the university....Read More

I applied to the following four colleges: FAU Erlangen: Accepted/Confirmed admission Saarland: Rejected. Because they needed GRE I didn't have one Uni Stuttgart: Accepted/Joined/Confirm admission LMU Munich: Rejected. The courses from my bachelor's didn't match the exact requirements I think GRE plays a major role along with the grades from your bachelor's; the better your grade, high chances of admission to universities like Saarland and LMU. I though about the location Stuttgart was one of the big cities but still affordable and I really liked the modules in my course as well because they were very similar to my bachelor's. The admission process was very simple, from applying online starting with grade sheets a letter of recommendation – IELTS was not required but I still had it because my Bachelors was in english I really liked the over application process the admission letter came in quickly, i.e., I applied on Feb 14th 2019 and got the letter on March 17th 2019 Accommodation for internal students is also provided by the university. The main highlight was people were reachable all the time via email and we had an Indian Student Association with our seniors who made the process as seamless as possible I applied for Winter 2019 right after my BE Applied on: 14.02.2019 Letter of admission: 17.03.2019 Visa appointment: 09.09.2019 Date of travel: 19.10.2019 Course started: 01.01.2019 Lectures started: 17.10.2019 I think it is highly irrelevant to have 350 characters for this, while this process itself is the same for most of the universities and I am not sure what additional details to add....Read More
