Best consultancy for MS in Germany in India: how to choose

Use this list on any consultancy, us included. Ask each question on your first call. A good consultancy can answer all six right away.

Public universities are the ones run by the German states. Most of them charge little or no tuition, so many students aim for them. A few, such as TUM and the universities in Baden-Württemberg, do charge students from outside the EU, so check each course page.

Some consultancies earn money from private universities when you join one. That can make them suggest private universities first. Ask which universities they apply to, and check each one yourself.

Our answer: most of our students go to public universities, and we also help with private ones. You can also search universities and courses yourself, free, on our course search.

An admit is a letter from a university that says it will take you. Every consultancy says it gets admits. Ask to see them: the student’s name, the university, the course and the intake (the term the course starts, like Winter 2027).

If a consultancy shows only big numbers with no names, ask for real examples.

Our answer: our admits are public. See real students, their university, course and intake on our success stories page.

Reviews tell you how it felt to work with a consultancy: did they answer on time, and did they explain things clearly? Read reviews on Google, not only the ones a consultancy puts on its own website.

Our answer: we are rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google (opens in a new tab). You can also read what students say on our reviews page.

An office you can visit means real people you can find. Look up the address on Google Maps, and visit or call before you pay.

Our answer: we have 4 offices in India, in Hubli, Kochi, Bangalore and Chennai. The full addresses and phone numbers are on our contact page. We also help students online, by phone and on WhatsApp.

A fair consultancy tells you the price before a long sales call. It also tells you what is not included in the price, such as university application fees or courier costs.

Our answer: our prices are on our pricing page for anyone to see.

• Basic, ₹29,999: up to 3 university applications.
• Standard, ₹49,999: up to 10 applications, with APS help.
• Premium, ₹1,19,999: unlimited applications for 2 intakes, and ₹40,000 back if you get no admit (rules apply, see below).

Uni-assist fees and courier charges are not in any package. You also pay the APS fee, the dMAT exam fee, university application fees and notary fees (a fee to make copies of your documents official) yourself. See every service and its price on our services page.

Before you pay anyone, ask one question: what happens to my money if things go wrong? Get the answer in writing.

Our answer: you can ask for a refund within 30 days of joining any package. We keep part of the money for work we have already done.

On Premium, if you get no admit in two intakes one after the other, you get ₹40,000 back. There are rules: you must apply to every course on your shortlist (your final list of courses), delays can cancel this promise, and we send the money back after all your universities have replied. Read the full rules in our terms and conditions before you pay. The package rules you accept when you join also apply.

Many students apply on their own, and that is fine. If you apply to only a few public universities, have your language score and like reading official pages, you can do it yourself.

Paid help is worth it when time is short, you are not sure your credits are enough to get into the course, or you apply to many courses at once. We are Germany study abroad consultants and also a free platform, which means a website anyone can use. Our course search, our tools and our guides stay free, whether you pay us or not.
