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:

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
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

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 2025).
We help you:
- Choose between providers like Fintiba, Expatrio, Coracle
