Your 7.47 CGPA is comfortably above the general eligibility line most public universities set, so the more useful question is which of the three countries' industrial ecosystems, German automation, the UK's fast 1-year format, or Singapore's research prestige, actually fits your career plan.

Country-by-Country: Where Your CGPA Clears the Bar

CountryTypical CGPA BarBest-Fit Program
GermanyAround 7.0/10 or 65% equivalentM.Sc. Automation and Robotics, RWTH Aachen or TU Dortmund
United KingdomWidely accepted across tier-1 and tier-2 schoolsMSc Control and Instrumentation, University of Derby
SingaporeOften 8.0+ at NUS/NTU for general streamsStrengthen with projects or internships to offset a 7.47

Matching the Program to Your EIE Coursework

  • Control and automation: maps directly onto your instrumentation, transducers and industrial-automation subjects.
  • Electronic Engineering / Embedded Systems: a better fit if your interest leans toward microcontrollers and IC design.
  • Preparation: Germany requires an APS certificate for Indian applicants, a process that can take a few months, so start it well ahead of a planned intake.

Two More German Programs and a Credit-Mapping Check

  • M.Sc. Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (EEIT): offered at KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and TU Braunschweig, letting you specialise in embedded systems, automation or sensors within one degree title.
  • Consecutiveness check: German universities map your undergraduate credits in mathematics, control theory and core electronics against a specific EEIT or Automation track before admitting you, so pull your actual transcript's credit hours before you shortlist.

My Advice

If Singapore is your top choice, treat the 7.47 CGPA as a genuine risk factor there specifically, since NUS and NTU tend to expect 8.0 or higher for general electrical-engineering streams; strengthen that application with a strong project portfolio or relevant internship rather than relying on the CGPA alone. A relevant internship or a published project, at a firm such as ST Engineering or in a university robotics lab, does more to move an NUS or NTU admissions committee than retaking the CGPA conversation, since general-stream electrical engineering intakes there weigh recent, demonstrable work almost as heavily as the transcript. Germany and the UK are the safer default given your current profile.
