Germany is quickly becoming one of the most preferred destinations for Indian students who want to pursue quality education abroad at low or no tuition fees. With world-class universities, innovative research facilities, and a high employment rate for international graduates, Germany offers a great return on investment.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through every step you need to take to study in Germany from India in 2026 — including application processes, visa requirements, accommodation, and more.
Why Study in Germany?
- Germany is home to over 400 universities, many of which are ranked among the top globally. For Indian students, Germany is especially attractive because:
- Low or No Tuition Fees (especially in public universities)
- Courses in English for international students
- Strong Job Opportunities post-graduation
- PR Pathways after completing your degree
- Diverse Cultural Environment with a growing Indian student community
Step 1: Profile Evaluation & Course Shortlisting
- Before diving into applications, it’s essential to know which universities and courses you are eligible for. At Abroad Study Rover, we offer a Profile Evaluation Service that analyzes:
- CGPA/percentage
- Backlogs
- IELTS or MOI status
- Work experience
- Career goals
- Based on your academic and professional background, we shortlist suitable public and private universities in Germany that align with your career plans.
Step 2: SOP, LOR, Resume & Document Preparation
- To apply to German universities, you’ll need:
- A powerful Statement of Purpose (SOP)
- Letters of Recommendation (LORs) from academic/professional references
- A detailed, academic Resume/CV
- Verified and translated academic transcripts and other required documents
- We help students draft and review each of these documents to maximize their admission chances.
Step 3: University Applications (Public & Private)
- German public universities usually do not charge tuition fees but are highly competitive. Private universities offer flexibility and faster admissions, though they charge fees. We help you:
- Apply directly or through Uni-Assist
- Meet deadlines for Summer and Winter intakes
- Prepare and submit the right documents
Step 4: Visa Process & Documentation
- Once you receive your admission letter, the next major step is applying for a German Student Visa. Required documents include:

- Proof of financial resources (Blocked Account)
- Valid passport
- Health insurance
- We provide complete visa filing support, including complete document checks.
Step 5: Blocked Account & Health Insurance
- To secure your student visa, you must show you have enough funds to cover your living expenses in Germany. This is done via a Blocked Account, typically with €11,904/year (as of 2026). We help you:
- Choose between providers like Fintiba, Expatrio, Coracle
- Open and fund your blocked account
- Get the right German health insurance policy
Step 6: Accommodation Assistance
