Hi Arslan Sorry for replying all, just doing for the sake of information to others. First of all I must make this clear that I dont have much experience of German education system, as I am on German Green card and I came directly on that. But during my job I thought to do MS in Communication and I am enrolled in www.rwth-aachen.de http://www.rwth-aachen.de, they offer MS in English and I live in same town. But I couldn't manage to go ever to university because timing of university is 8:30am -5:30pm (different lecture / labs) and I cannot afford to go as my core office hours.

I cannot tell you exact amount but what I know for sure 120 Euro for Medical insurance, and some 150 Euro for Hostel, might be same for food or approx. 500-600 Euro permonth you can need. > 4. Wat r the pre-requisites of US/German Universities n wat the > exact procedure applying 2 them??? They require 4 yr degree (BE), letter from NED that medium of education was in English, TOEFL/IELTS, now some are asking GRE too but some very few. > 5. Wat r the ways of getting scholarships in these universities, > I mean wats the impact of score of GRE + the university GPA. No GPA, and no GRE (mostly) but if university require GRE for education then may be, But fact is not much universities are offering scholarship , as Education is already free, but in some case (vary from University to University person can get scholarship too, as I heared > 6. Is there any possibilty of any student making his living > without the aid of his family in Germany /US ??? I know many student and they all are living by there own , mean maybe in start months (2) you will need this 600 Euro approx.. from your home, but then you will be able to get some part time job in university or outside easily, But YOU MUST KNOW QUITE GOOD GERMAN LANGUAGE FOR THAT. very few companies are offering jobs in English, so if you know German language then chances are very very good to get some work for part time, Here counts your extra qualification (Java / C++ / UNIX / scripts/ Cisco / MS etc ) for good job. > 7. Exact way/method of applying 2 any university in US or > germany. Send your papers to universities, and then they will send you invitation after excepting your application and that you have to present in German embassy . I have heard that after Sept 11 German consulate has been hard, and they ask your document for verification and also before send ur document to university they make attest. So keep this in mind, must go German consulate for information and ask new procedure for applying, also I have heard that they need 5000 Euro Bank statement from each student before issuing German visa. Sorry I don't know much about student visa requirement of Consulate. But Person can go and ask (German consulate is just next to British Consulate on way to Park Tower Clifton, Karachi) Look into this web page, http://www.rwth-aachen.de/zentral/aguid_ms_adm_egl_admegl.htm also look, http://www.uni-duisburg.de/AAA/Info_Engl.html > 8. Wat measures I can take in advance being a final year student > who desperatly wana get his postgraduate from abroad. For germany , you must start learning German language , its not required by university , but German embassy look into that , also in Germany for finding good work and social life it will help alot believe me :) . Best time for fresh NEDian is winter semester , deadline is 1 July to send application. please look into www.daad.de <http://www.daad.de> for more information. You have two more years to worry , you are just in SE yaar. ----------------------- More Info? ------------------------ NED's Official Website: http://www.neduet.edu.pk NEDian.ORG.PK : http://nedian.org.pk NED Alumni USA : http://NED-ALUMNI.org ECN List: http : http://nedian.org.pk/ecn/ecn.html List Archives : http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] ECN Members' Blurbs : http://nedian.org.pk/ecn/blurbs.html ---------------- http://nedian.org.pk ---------------------
