Yes, private universities in Germany are a good option if your academic percentage is below the requirement for public universities.

Private universities often have more flexible admission criteria and look at your overall profile, including work experience, motivation, and language skills - not just your percentage. However, tuition fees at private universities are usually higher than at public institutions.

Low percentage, study gap or no work experience?
