Conclusion!

I hope by now, you have got an idea of what you should do to study Electronics Engineering in Germany.

But this is just the starting point. This is where the game starts, you win the final boss fight when you get an admission letter from any one of the top universities!

And let me tell you the truth here.

Do you know for the top universities the intake ratio is less than 0.001? That means for every 1000 international students applying to the universities all over the world, only 1 student can get in!

So that’s why you need to completely focus on your CV (a German standard CV, not your traditional CV, neither a Europass CV, and nor the CV you have been casually using to apply for jobs).

Also, your SOP or Statement of purpose should be perfect! What we have seen multiple times is that students with average academics but with a brilliant SOP can easily get admission against someone who has brilliant academics but their CV or SOP was not good enough.

And one point students always miss is, you should be applying to the universities based on your background, grades and capabilities, that’s why shortlisting the universities based on your interests and background is of utmost importance rather than applying to them blindly!

Your SOP needs to be on point also, modified as per the universities.

So would you like to be a part of the top German universities or from any one of the 189+ German public universities without any hassles?
