Apart from Germany, which other countries would be good for me to study electronics or electrical engineering?
Apart from Germany, Ireland, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom are strong options for electronics or electrical engineering. Compare them on tuition, living costs and post-study work routes, which run from about 18 months to 3 years depending on the country.
Apart from Germany, you can look at Ireland, Canada, the USA and the UK. In Ireland, typical tuition is around EUR 18,000 to 29,500 a year (approx INR 19.45 to 31.87 L), so compare costs along with post-study work options.

How to evaluate them
- Compare total cost, not tuition alone.
- Check the length and rules of the post-study work route.
- Look at industry links and course content for your specialization.
My Advice
Shortlist two or three countries and compare them side by side on cost, stay-back time and course fit. Visa rules change, so verify them on official government pages before deciding.
