Should I do Studienkolleg or a 1-year degree in India to become eligible for TUM?
I’m an Indian student planning to apply for a Bachelor’s degree at TUM (Technical University of Munich), but I’m trying to figure out the best way to meet the 13-year education requirement.
I’m considering two routes:
Route 1 — Studienkolleg:
Go to Germany and complete Studienkolleg, then apply for a BSc at TUM.
Route 2 — 1 year of college in India:
Complete one year of a degree at an IPU-affiliated college in India so that I have the equivalent of 13 years of education, and then apply directly to TUM for a BSc.
Which route would be better for TUM admission? Is one significantly more reliable/easier than the other for an Indian student?
I’d especially like to hear from anyone who has applied to TUM with Indian 12th-grade qualifications or has gone through Studienkolleg.
