Which countries have fewer students going for studies, and which countries are better options for me to apply to in Ireland/Germany for a Master's?

The best countries with fewer Indian students and strong options for your Master's in Computer Science are:

- Germany: Minimal or no tuition fees at public universities, many English-taught programs, and an 18-month post-study work visa (subject to change).
- France: Low tuition at public universities, English-taught options, and a 2-year post-study work visa.
- Netherlands: Moderate tuition, many English-taught programs, and a 1-year orientation year visa after graduation.
- Ireland: Higher tuition than Germany/France but reasonable, all programs in English, and a 2-year stay-back option.
- Singapore: Higher tuition but top-ranked universities, English-taught programs, and a 1-year work pass for graduates.

Your IELTS 6.5, 8.0 GPA, and 2 years' work experience match typical requirements for these countries. Germany and France are more affordable but increasingly popular, while the Netherlands, Ireland, and Singapore offer a balance of quality education and post-study opportunities with relatively fewer Indian students.
