Masters Experience in HS Darmstadt

I applied for just 2. I also applied to TU Stuttgart but my application was rejected. I believe my CGPA was not sufficient to get accepted. But also this university, though being a public university, had a fee of around 1500 euros, which is high in case you plan to fund your studies yourself. In general, having some work experience, a good CGPA, and some interesting publications, papers and projects helps in the overall selection process. The courses at HDA (Hochschule Darmstadt) were very much aligned with my work experience. Which was the main reason i chose this university. The application process was straightforward. Just submit the required application documents. The eligibility criteria vary every year and hence i sugges to visit the official university website. For example, in my case i was asked for IELTS with an 88% score. No specific challenges; your acceptance totally depends on your profile and on the others who have applied with you. The best ones get through. I applied for the Winter Semester. Since this was a university that i really wished to get into, i applied just as the application lines were open and accepting applications. In my case this was in December. The lines were open till March, after which the applications are gone through and a decision is made. I received a response around the end of May 2022....Read More

I applied for the following university: Hochschule Darmstadt (Admitted) Since it is an opportunity for an exchange semester only, I only applied for Hochschule Darmstadt in Germany, as this was the only university that was providing English language courses. My college (VIT University) has shared the list of universities where we can pursue an exchange semester. I selected only Hochschule Darmstadt. There were other students who applied to universities in Sweden and other countries too. Reason for choosing this college: 1. English language courses were available. 2. My TOEFL score was enough for the admission (89/120). 3. This university has a very good profile in the robotics department (the IMSEIT Department with an automation major). Admission Process: 1. My home university, VIT Vellore, has an International Relations department that has taken care of all the procedures for our admission once we have finalized the name of the college we want to pursue the exchange semester in from the list of all partner universities of VIT Vellore. 2. We needed to write the motivation letter and other trivial details about ourselves. Accepted exams: The only required exam for a non-german course at Hochschule Darmstadt is English Proficiency exam (TOEFL: Minimum 88/120) The overall admission process was pretty smooth, as the IR Office at Hochschule Darmstadt and at VIT Vellore was very, very helpful and supportive in everything. They have conducted several information sessions for each and every topic, like Visa, APS, housing, before arrival in Germany, during the stay and post-concluding the stay. I have applied for the September intake. Because that was the only semester I had available to pursue an exchange semester. Admission process timeline: April, 2023: I received a mail from the IR Office at VIT Vellore that was being forwarded to all the students in the prefinal year. The email was to inform students about the possible opportunity for the next semester and to select from the list of partner universities. I have selected the Hochschule Darmstadt after carefully going through the available courses and the eligibility criteria. June 2023: 7 SHORTLISTED STUDENTS names were shared that are eligible for the exchange program. I was one of them. June, 2023: The application form was shared by the Hochschule Darmstadt IR Office to fill out and attach the required documents like a passport copy, transcript of record, and motivation letter. July, 2023: We have received the confirmation letter for the admission with which we needed to apply the APS certificate. The one that takes the longest time. July, 2023: I went to the Delhi APS Office to personally submit the form of all 4 students who got admitted to Hochschule Darmstadt for exchange studies. We need to pay the 20k Rs fees for the APS application beforehand. July, 2023: We have received the APS Certificate in just 17 days after payment, probably because we have applied in a group, our stay is shorter, and exchange students are safer. July, 2023: I went to the VFS Global visa office in New Delhi for the visa interview. I took the premium services package, where I was given a visa officer of my own, and I can take any number of printouts and photographs in case I missed any. August 2023: I got my visa-stamped passport by post....Read More
