r/rptu

Hi Guys! I am having a hard time deciding between two of my admits (MS CS in RPTU and MS AI in Würzburg).

My ultimate goal is to pursue a research career in AI (potentially after a doctorate). I have explored on all bases, from alumni to opportunities. While Würzburg is offering a dedicated degree in AI, RPTU has DFKI and MPI SWS right on the campus.

I would really appreciate the help from anyone who's already studying in Germany (or has already researched about this) and would be aware of the pros and cons.

PS: before anyone asks, here's my profile: 1.6 GPA (B.Tech in CSE), 7.5 IELTS, 1 yr work experience (internship at ISRO).

I’ve been admitted to the M.Sc. Computer Science at RPTU for Winter Semester 2026/27, but I’m considering deferring to Summer Semester 2027.

My current Letter of Admission has an enrollment deadline of 16 October 2026, so I’d like to know when the new Summer Semester admission letter would be issued.

I emailed ISGS about this 5 days ago as a reply to an earlier email but haven’t received a response. I also sent a new email today.

Does anyone know the latest point at which RPTU/ISGS issues the Summer Semester Letter of Admission after deferring? Any experience with this would be really helpful.
