u/Affectionate-Sky-219

I just got the acceptance letter from Konstanz uni for ms in Computer and Information science.

I am quite happy with the acceptance letter, but, the troubling part is - I have to enroll within 1 month.

I have applied to around 20 universities out of which I have only gotten result from 2 of them. 1 accepted - Kontanz and 1 reject.

I think it will take more than a month or atleast a month to get results from most unis.

So, should I enroll in Konstanz uni or not.

Even though the program is nice and reputed, the city is quite small, there are few IT jobs within the city.

I am not sure, if I can even expect to get internship there.

Should, I take a chance and not enroll in this program, or do u think I am putting too much emphasis in the city and it doesn't matter that much?

If any of u guys are familar with the market there, how is the internships and part time work situation there. Is it moderately easy to find part time jobs or no ?

My gpa is 2.3, 106 in TOEFL and 327 in GRE (3 in awa).

I have also presented two research papers.

I also fullfill the credit requirements for this program (from my assessment).

But, I am still reluctant to pay the 100 euro application fee, mainly due to my low gpa.

The program in not NC, but its not NC frie either.

I want to ask if I should apply (spend 100 euros).

Do u guys know anyone who got in with similar profile ?

Any advice is highly appreciated 👏.

In the requirement section they state this -

The bachelor's thesis must also be uploaded as part of the application to enable the admissions committee to assess the applicant's academic qualifications. Other written work in the form of publications or high-quality project reports are also helpful.

But my graduation program doesn't have bachelor's thesis.

Although, I do have a research paper which I presented (not published yet).

Should I or can I apply for this course ?

If any of u guys have gotten an admit without the thesis, plz tell me, it would be a big help.

My gpa is 2.3 in german scale, there website also state that have 2.0 or better grade make the admit chances higher.

Should I apply to this uni ??

I am a final year Indian student and will be graduating in two months (In CS). I am planning to go to Germany for master's in CS/AI (have already applied to many unis).

But, in the last few days I have come accross many comments about how bad the IT job market is in germany.

So, I want to know if its really that bad. If I learn upto B2 level german by the end of my masters (Already learning A2).

Then, if I apply to hundreds of applications, take dozens of Interviews, will it still be likely that I might not get a job.

Even though the job market in India is so bad, u can still find jobs as a fresher through this process. I understand it will not be a walk in the park, and I am not expecting it to be. But still, I find it hard to believe that the market is as bad as people are making it sound.

From my experience, there's always people who are not able to find jobs in every organization. Even in my college many people got jobs many didn't. If u ask a placed student, they say the market is fine, others say- its terrible. I feel that always the case every where.

And, I have been a preety decent student, specially in cs field, I grasp concept pretty quickly(bare with me guys).

So, is it really that bad, even if I put in the effort. The last few days have really made me question my decision to go to Germany for masters.

Please, share ur insights with me, so that I can get some clarity. Open for brutal truth.
