Students pursuing Bachelors in Germany

I am Shaurya Gupta from Delhi-NCR, India. My interest in studying in Germany began during school, where I built a strong foundation in the German language and later completed my C1 certification. Inspired by my father, I planned early on to pursue higher education in Germany. 
Germany has always stood out to me for its world-class education system, engineering excellence, and innovative environment. Renowned institutions like KIT made it the ideal place to pursue my academic goals.
I am Rijak Singh from Delhi, India, currently studying B.Sc. Computer Science at OTH Regensburg. My fascination for robotics and programming began in school, where I enjoyed building small projects and experimenting with code. After learning German for three years as a foreign language, I became curious about the country behind the language. Discovering Germany’s high-quality and affordable education and strong career opportunities made the decision easy.
I am Aryan Bidkar and my journey with Germany actually started pretty early. I began learning German in the 8th grade and later took the FIT exam in my 9th Grade, which opened a huge door for me: the JUKU-2020 Scholarship from the Goethe-Institut. That experience shaped my interest in Germany and motivated me to keep going. After finishing 12th grade, I continued learning German and moved to Germany for the Studienkolleg at Universität Leipzig.
