Expert Answers
Do I need to keep the blocked amount in my bank account for two years or just one year for the visa process?
→Apart from the blocked amount, do I have to pay additional living expenses or university fees for public universities in Germany?
→So how well do they identify that these are my siblings for showing their ITRs as funds for German visa?
→Can 10 lakh cover an engineering masters in Germany?
→Yes, Rs. 10 lakh, about EUR 11,000, can cover an engineering masters in Germany, since public universities charge zero tuition. The mandatory blocked account needs EUR 11,904, roughly Rs. 10.8 lakh, per year, so your budget falls Rs. 80,000 short and you need the same amount again for year two.
Does 20 lakh stretch across two years in Germany including living costs?
→No, Rs. 20 lakh cannot safely cover your entire two year stay in Germany alone, since total costs run near Rs. 24.5 lakh. It works as a starting budget if you add part time work in year two, legally allowed up to 120 full days a year in Germany.
What is the total cost of applying to study in Germany from India, including blocked account, APS, and visa fees?
→The total mandatory cost is about 11 to 11.2 lakh rupees, roughly 12,138 euros, but the bulk of that is your own blocked account deposit which you get back monthly once in Germany. Your true non-refundable processing costs, covering APS, visa, and service fees, add up to around 27,800 rupees.
