Meet our Young Ambassadors who received the DAAD KOSPIE Scholarship

I am Sobhagya Mittal and I pursued Master of Architecture from IIT Roorkee where my journey to Germany began. I was awarded a DAAD scholarship under the IIT Master Sandwich program to work at the Faculty of Architecture in RWTH Aachen University. Studying in Germany gave a rewarding opportunity to learn alongside an international cohort of scholars and researchers. Currently, I am pursuing doctoral research at the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi.
I am Rahul Dogra, currently pursuing my PhD in Geotechnical Engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. My first experience in Germany was through the DAAD KOSPIE scholarship during my master’s studies in 2021 and 2022. Working at TU Darmstadt introduced me to the supportive and research-focused environment of German universities. This experience motivated me to return for my PhD.
