My Germany Experience

Sabina Khatri
(ya.sabina@daadindia.org)

Masters - Tropical Hydro-Geology & Environment Engineering, TU Darmstadt
Regarding my experience in Germany, it was as beautiful as I had seen in the books. Apart from that, exposure to the diverse cultures, food, dresses, etc. with the international students from various nationalities was the most interesting part of my stay in Germany. Darmstadt always has a special place in my heart. It is a small town where everyone seems to know each other and felt like home. I enjoyed the university a lot. Best of all was getting to know that the "Bibliothek" was open 24/7, so one could go and study at any time one felt like. To sum up, DAAD has been a very enriching experience for me and the biggest learning opportunity, personally as well as professionally.

Ramkumar Sukumar
(amb.ramkumarsukumar@daadindia.org)
Masters - Electronics and Communication Engineering, TU Darmstadt
I did my Masters in Information and Communication Engineering at Technical University of Darmstadt. Besides working on academics and research, I was actively engaged with international student organisations like AIESEC and started one on my own for helping Indian students and working people. The years I have spent in Germany gave me a lot of perspective towards life, and like-minded friends from the other parts of the world. Finding my calling to be back in India, I returned to work as a System Engineer with Atos India, Pune, for around a year. It was a tough decision, took time to get settled, but reaping its benefits now. Well, nothing is impossible if we put our dreams in the first place.
