31 Jul 2026 · Answered by Arati Rai · 1 min read
You should plan to show approximately €12,000 to €13,000 (about ₹10.7 to ₹11.6 lakh) for your first year in Germany if you attend a public university. This covers:
- €11,904 in a blocked account for living expenses (€992/month)
- €150 - €400 semester contribution
For private universities, tuition fees can range from €5,000 to €20,000/year, so your total fund requirement may be €16,900 - €31,900 (₹15 - ₹28 lakh) or higher for the first year.
Amounts vary by city, university, and lifestyle.
