Hey everyone! I applied for MSc Information and Communication Engineering (iCE) at TU Darmstadt for WiSe 2026/27. I completed BE ECE from Anna University with 7.56 CGPA and currently have around 2 years of experience as a Java Spring Boot Software Engineer. I also published an IJCRT research paper related to an AI-based Smart Blind Stick project. I passed the OAT, submitted APS, and my documents were received on April 15, 2026. My current status is “Application in the department,” and I’m currently on around Day 33 of waiting. Would love to know how my profile looks for to get admission and how long decisions usually take for similar applicants.

Applying for MSc. AI and ML course. My syllabus completely fulfils ECTS requirements and I have a very good GPA. Do I need to take on-site 90-minute entrance exam ??

I have an admit for WiSe 26/27 for iCE, but though being a TU9 university I was not asked for a LoM, or an LoR or a CV. They only needed my transcript. Hence I wanted to understand how the cohort is structured and how competitive it is.

Also wanted to understand as an non-EU citizen how are the opportunities are in the aerospace sector. I already have 2 years of work exp in the private aerospace sector for my home country and have worked extensively in Satellite AIT. Wanted to know if the course will complement my interests and also be competitive.

P.S. Your help is much appreciated

I used to get good marks in my bachelor's, but TUDA humbled me in many ways. I wanted to know where I am lagging and how I can get my spark back..

Thanks...

I got a admit to msc ICE for WiSe, which have all the communication modules. But I also want to register for multidisciplinary courses from other dept like advanced qm from physics and similar courses on the field.

Is it allowed for us to register for course outside the dept, if i complete all the mandatory courses for the program?

Also what is the usual wait time for the dorm?

I’m starting my MSc in Computer Science at TU Darmstadt and keep hearing that most students take longer than 2 years to graduate, even though the program is designed for 2 years.

Some people told me it’s completely possible to finish on time, but many students choose to study longer**. I’m someone who wants to graduate quickly and enter the job market ASAP**, so I’m curious:

• Is finishing in 2 years actually realistic?
• Why do so many students take longer — difficult courses, thesis delays, part-time jobs, internships, or just personal preference?
• If someone is disciplined and plans well, can they comfortably finish on time?

Would love to hear real experiences from students/graduates.

I applied in March, and my documents were received on 01/04. My status is still showing as “Antrag im Fachbereich.”
