According to a press release from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), regional office in New Delhi, Indian students now form the largest international community in Germany for the second year in a row; with the number having more than doubled in the last five years.

The latest figures released by the Federal Statistical Office of Germany show that the number of Indian students in Germany has grown by 15.1% over the last year and stands at 49483 (Winter Semester 2023-2024).

Indians now form the largest group of international students enrolled at German universities. The official figures from Germany’s Federal Statistical office also show that 60% of the Indian students in Germany are enrolled in engineering courses; 21% in law, management and social studies and 13% in maths and natural sciences.


Recently, as the new Act came into effect on March 1, 2024; the German government has also allowed international students from outside the European Union to work up to 20 hours per week (an increase from the previous limit of 10 hours). This rule will also cover students who go to Germany to search for educational programmes but have not enrolled yet to a university and those doing German language training courses.
