The Embassy of India in Berlin and various student associations in Germany recently founded the Indian Students in Germany (ISG) initiative. ISG aims to:

• Share information on visas, scholarships, job opportunities, cultural events, and more.
• Provide emergency contacts for Indian students in Germany.
• Connect students with potential employers in India and Germany.

IGCHE students in Germany should register at the ISG portal to receive valuable information.]]>PSG GST2025-09-15T16:25:39+02:00https://igche.de/blog/files/6c8ce4c46217f003ec8f9f1e7875cdd6-31.html#unique-entry-id-31https://igche.de/blog/files/6c8ce4c46217f003ec8f9f1e7875cdd6-31.html#unique-entry-id-31

90 Students enrolled in PSG GST this year, in Automobile Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering. They will study at PSG IAS for three years and learn German at the PSG German Language Centre before they switch to Germany for their final year.

We are looking forward to welcoming them at the IGCHE partner universities in Germany!]]>PSG GSTSummer School2025-07-07T14:05:07+02:00https://igche.de/blog/files/7e853774dd887a573bb73ce7c8b57896-30.html#unique-entry-id-30https://igche.de/blog/files/7e853774dd887a573bb73ce7c8b57896-30.html#unique-entry-id-30IIK Summer School in Düsseldorf. During their month in Germany, they will get intensive German language training, but of course they will use the opportunity to get to know the country as well as some of the IGCHE universities.

Last Friday they paid a visit to the Westphalian University. Nine computer science, seven robotics and two mechanical engineering students, accompanied by their PSG German language teachers Dr. Suganthi and Mrs. Pavithra, visited faculty labs and also Halle 1, a lab run by students where they can realise any project they have on their minds.

Trips to Amsterdam, Luxemburg, Bingen and other European cities are part of the itinerary, too. The Summer School in Germany will certainly boost their language proficiency and study confidence.]]>PSG GST2025-03-18T17:17:00+01:00https://igche.de/blog/files/10b3be174acd05aa98c904cf5d4efaf0-29.html#unique-entry-id-29https://igche.de/blog/files/10b3be174acd05aa98c904cf5d4efaf0-29.html#unique-entry-id-29

The joint bilingual Bachelor's programmes of PSG and IGCHE, which have been successful for years, now finally have a home.

13 students from nine different DHIK universities took part in the Summer School / India Study Abroad Programme at PSG. They saw and learnt a lot during their two-week stay. PSG arranged a great programme and managed to connect the German and Indian students so they had a great time together.

Here are a few impressions:

Some quotes from the students:

"My visit and stay at PSG and in India was clearly one of the best experiences of my entire life. I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart."

"Thank you very much for everything. In these two weeks I made experiences which I will never forget!!! It was a pleasure to meet you all."

"Many thanks again, we had an incredible time."

"I have arrived safely in Berlin and would like to thank you sincerely for your incredible hospitality during my stay in India. Thanks to you, I had an unforgettable time, full of discoveries and learning. Your warm welcome and generosity really made a difference, and I appreciate everything you did to make my stay so enjoyable. I will treasure these memories and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to Berlin or Cameroon one day. Once again, thank you for everything!

The increasing number of students as well as the increasing demand for telc and TestDaF certificates made it necessary to expand the team of German teachers so that there are now six teachers at PSG GST German Language Centre.

The team takes excellent care of the students and ensures that they are successfully prepared for the language tests.]]>PSGPSG GST2024-10-01T12:33:14+02:00https://igche.de/blog/files/0f96a05fc79ef15956fff46cf6749e9e-25.html#unique-entry-id-25https://igche.de/blog/files/0f96a05fc79ef15956fff46cf6749e9e-25.html#unique-entry-id-25

IGCHE will become the Indian pillar of the DHIK consortium, just like CDHAW for China and mdhk for Mexico.

For Indian students, this means more university options in Germany, as the DHIK currently comprises 37 universities. Student exchanges, guest lectures and research collaborations can be expanded and intensified.

The merger was agreed at the IGCHE consortium meeting in May and at the DHIK consortium meeting on June 10th.

The prize of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) goes to IGCHE student Sanchary Biswas from PSG Institute of Advanced Studies / Westphalian University of Applied Sciences.

The award is a sign of special appreciation for foreign students in Germany and intents to make their achievements visible. The award-winning students demonstrate their skills and commitment not only through outstanding academic achievements, but also by promoting more internationality and intercultural understanding at their university. See the pictures and read more about it here (German language).]]>IGCHEDHIK2021-03-17T10:03:39+01:00https://igche.de/blog/files/69cc1277fda660e02c6d07db85fdb16c-17.html#unique-entry-id-17https://igche.de/blog/files/69cc1277fda660e02c6d07db85fdb16c-17.html#unique-entry-id-17Gratifying news in the first quarter of 2021: DHIK and IGCHE decide to cooperate

A new cooperation has been established with the international consortium DHIK, which is primarily concerned with double degrees in engineering with strong partners in China and Mexico, and the Indo-German network IGCHE, which brings Indian students to Germany for double degrees. Both consortia have voted in favour of this cooperation by a majority in the respective consortium meeting.

A brief portrait of the DHIK:

The double degree program with Tongji University in Shanghai started with its foundation in 2004. Ten years later, the consortium expanded its range of countries to include Mexico and agreed on a double degree program with the university Tecnológico de Monterrey. The focus of the exchange program is on engineering degree programs. The consortium now counts 34 universities from Germany and Switzerland among its members and has already paved the way for more than 2,000 students to earn a double degree.

A brief portrait of the IGCHE:

The Indo-German Center for Higher Education started in 2010 as a cooperation between four German universities and two Indian partners. Eight German and three Indian partners are now involved, jointly offering four engineering degree programs for Indian students and quality-assured semesters abroad for German students. With German Language Centers on site in India, the IGCHE ensures a high level of language proficiency for more than 250 active students.

The chairmen of both consortia, Prof. Fröhling and Prof. Leonhard, are looking forward to a successful and forward-looking cooperation.

So for those of you who already passed TestDaF, you should apply for an appointment in the category "Student Exchange Program". You do not need an "aggregate score 90% in 12th Standard" for that anymore. For those of you who intend to do a course at IIK, please select the category "Language course/internship in preparation for a study (course)".

Here is the link for visa appointments: https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/deu/book-an-appointment

Select "For National visa application (stay in Schengen is for more than 90 days) submission at the VAC or at the Embassy/Consulate please click here" from there.

Good luck!

We will continue our efforts to bring you to Germany as soon as possible. If we achieve anything, we will let you know immediately. Hope to see you soon!

Best regards, stay save
