Germany scores high for students; record growth in Indians studying in Germany for 2014-15
There has been a record growth in the number of Indians studying in Germany for the year 2014-15. There are 11,860 Indian students enrolled in German universities, an increase of 23 per cent over the figures of the previous year. Indians now form the second-largest group of international students in German universities, after Chinese.
The fact that Germany has opened its doors to skilled professionals is also an important consideration for many Indian students. “Germany has established itself as a destination for quality education amongst Indian students. The exceptional exposure that students get to the industry while still pursuing their studies is seen as a tremendous value addition by Indian students,” said Heike Mock, director, DAAD (German academic exchange service) regional office, New Delhi.
