I am an Indian and I am looking forward to get answers of the questions in my mind.

[desert oak]

Reply to this thread if you are willing to give answers to my questions. I am preferring Indians to respond to my thread, however anybody can reply to this thread.

Don't ask to ask, just ask what you need to.

[desert oak]

Well, I have multiple questions. Therefore, first I wanted to get in touch with someone.

[slender path]

Also, a lot of questions have already been answered in this forum, so feel free to look them up with the search function.

[desert oak]

Thanks for the suggestion, mate.

However, I am unsure if you want to answer my questions. Can you please confirm it? 😅

[slender path]

Again, it's best to just ask what you need to, regardless of how many questions you have.

[desert oak]

Sorry for making the same mistake.

Anyways, here are the questions I wanted to ask:

1. If I opt for 1 year's of bachelors in India, then I can directly be admitted into German universities if they approve my application?

2. Is Testas mandatory for every person to give?

3. Is it difficult to find a part-time job in Germany as a student?

4. I have heard students who graduate from German universities fail to get a job because they are unable to meet the work-experience criteria. Therefore, in such case how are we supposed to fulfil that?

5. Can I do internships to get work-experience during my bachelors?

6. If I complete my bachelors from India, what are requirements I have to meet to study master's in Germany?

7. Is it true that you need work-experience of 2-3 years if you have pursue your bachelors from India before you can pursue master's?

These are the top questions that are in my mind as of now. I am asking these questions on the basis of the research I have done. However, I was unable to find the exact answers to some things and here they are.

A1 & 2. No clue.

A3. Depends on your level of German. Most student jobs (for example working in a restaurant) require at least an intermediate knowledge of German, and your maximum allowed working hours depend on your visa type. It also depends on where you plan on studying: it's of course easier to find jobs (also English-speaking ones) in cities than in small villages/towns, but the cost of living is also a lot higher.

A4. I've never heard of this. It's usually because students try to enter the German job market without much German speaking skills (and also racism and biases, which is a different topic). As for how to get work experience, internships exist for students to take during their enrolment at the university.

A5. Yes, but keep your work hour limit in mind.

A6. Get the required passing grade(generally 2.5 afaik) and required bachelor's-level courses to get into that respective course.

A7. Never heard of this. Probably applies for some specific courses like finance. 🤷🏽‍♂️

In any case, most bachelor's courses here require a B2 or higher level of German because they aren't taught in English, so please also keep that in mind.

1. Yes, however your university and course must be recognized.

2. No, not every university requires testAS

[desert oak]

But I have seen on daad.eu that universities also provide English programs?

[desert oak]

Thanks again, mate. Also, yes the university that I picked is H+.

[slender path]

DAAD often includes private universities, which are considered to be significantly subpar to public ones and generally charge a large tuition fee.

[amber pewter]

You have to check whether the university requires testAS yourself

[desert oak]

I used the "no fees" + "english" filters.

[amber pewter]

Some public unis have courses in English, but you need the right English qualifications then

[desert oak]

I checked the Martin Luther Uni and it does not include TestAS anywhere in the requirement.

Alongside, I am checking more universities.

[desert oak]

Alright, I will check their requirements.

[slender path]

Could you specify which universities?

[desert oak]

First one is Martin Luther University.

Sorry if the spelling of "Luther" is incorrect.

I am looking forward to study Business & Economics related courses.

[slender path]

I've never heard of it, but seems that it's in Halle and is a public uni.

[desert oak]

Yes.

Is it a bad university?

[slender path]

No clue.

Public unis are generally pretty good

[desert oak]

On google I have found good reviews, so I am stick to it.

[desert oak]

I am looking forward to public universities only, as I can hardly afford private ones.

However, I would choose private if I am going to pursue MBA.

[amber pewter]

Martin Luther doesn't require testAS, but they di allow it

[desert oak]

Talking about A7, yes it says I need a minimum 3 years of work-experience before I can pursue MBA.

[amber pewter]

You need APS as an Indian applicant, just so yk

[desert oak]

I have to do research on APS thing.

I hardly have any knowledge about it.

[amber pewter]

Where did you get that info from?

[desert oak]

It is an Indian website that makes a detailed summary of colleges for students interested.

The website is called "Shiksha".

https://www.uni-assist.de/en/tools/glossary-of-terms/description/term/akademische-pruefstelle-aps/

[desert oak]

Thanks for sharing me the link.

[amber pewter]

Never heard of that

[slender path]

Please refer directly to the course requirements on the uni's pages themselves or other official sources, and not random blogs.

These secondary information websites often have incorrect and outdated information.

[desert oak]

Yes, you are correct.

Guys, what does it mean by "You are eligible for a direct subject- restricted admission to a Bachelor’s programme related to your previous field of studies"?

I went to the APS website and filled the details - Completed 3 years of bachelors and from general/pass course.

[amber pewter]

It means you can study something related to what you studied in india

For example you studied biology for 1 year you can study microbiology or somet

[desert oak]

So, I have done Bachelors in Commerce (Accounting & Finance),that means I can pursue a degree related to that only.

But the main question is, can I pursue MBA?
