- The best thing about Ilmenau is there innovation is preferred, and mp3 was invented there
- Dr. Ing. Kai Uwe Sattler, is the a database scientist and will be a teacher throughout.
- The university has very advanced laboratories and industry visits.
Placement
- Well, the scene in Germany is a bit different. You have to attend industry visits, get emails in your uni email boxes, because they like practical talents, not just hiring.
- The university has a website. I don't recall the monthly rent, but it's amazing and affordable.






Likes
- The tution fees for the university is very less when compare to other university , and also the cutoffs marks for getting admission are not so high
- The university have a wide variety of research and masters courses, there are also few of them in English too. The overall syllabus for each courses is very well structured. Exam patterns analyze students critical thinking, problem solving, perception, etc.. these are the few things I like about the university
Dislikes
- English taught programmes are very less, so the choice of selection will be less for those who understand only English, Even though there are lots of programmes for study , job opportunity/research opportunity for some courses after graduation are not very shiny.
Placement
In Germany, students should learn German, it will increase their chance of getting a job after their studies. Placement/ Research opportunities varies from courses to courses, students must research on the courses and their future prospects before coming.
University experience in abroad was unique and I really enjoyed it , There are lots of opportunities to find your talent and nourish it.

- To be honest, I filtered some Universities for me and applied to all of them, I didn't receive replies from all but I got accepted at TUI which was also unbelievable for me as it was a Technical university and it has more importance in regards if one wants a career in Research.
- As I got an admission to the university, it was covid period. The classes were online. Still, teachers supported very well in all aspects, we used to have presentations, projects, research papers and reports. So, study was not compromised at all.
Dislikes
- I didn't find anything as such, that I did not like about Technical University of Ilmenau. Also, I am aware that students are concerned about Racism, but personally I never experienced such things. And still if any student does face it, then there are organizations in the university where it can be reported.
Placement
You need to apply on your own, though the University organizes various job fairs round the year. And you need to have an updated CV in German format and also a cover letter which should be different for different companies.
It was awesome as I learned a lot there. Especially living alone and managing everything. University went very well and I did participate in various events, exhibitions and parties too.
