I will tell you about five mistakes. I call these mistakes as silent mistakes because you don’t realize it when you are doing it.
But you realize it when the water goes above your head, And both your time and money will be wasted. If you do not avoid these five mistakes then either German universities will not give you admission or else the German Embassy can reject your visa.
Let’s start with mistake number five.
Nowadays many students want to change their field. Someone wants to come from the Business field to IT, or come from the medical field to Computer Science.
Generally, changing the field is not a bad thing, but German universities don’t like it that you had studied some other subjects earlier, and now you are applying somewhere else. So in this situation, German universities don’t give you admission. Instead, they reject your application. Due to this, your money is wasted, and you have to wait for one or two semesters.
So that you can apply in the next intake. So you have to avoid this mistake and apply to your relevant courses or that aligns with your background. Don’t apply to completely irrelevant courses. Of course, a slight change in the field is possible. But a complete shift in the field is not possible in most of the cases.
Because German universities often see that which subjects you have studied in background, and they also see it from your transcript. So, you should not make the mistake of applying to complete irrelevant courses.
Next, let’s talk about mistake number four.
Next, let’s talk about mistake number four. So in this mistake, students do not have proper planning to book an appointment.
Students don’t book their appointments timely and they will have to wait for 6 months or more. Basically, to avoid this mistake you should know about the Appointment system that what is the waiting time for an appointment and when do appointments actually open? I will tell shortly about it.
So if you are applying from the Karachi Consulate then usually appointments are available and they are released after regular intervals of time so you have to check again and again. But you get an appointment, it’s not a big issue. But the issue starts in the Islamabad embassy case Now in the case of the Islamabad Embassy, for a study visa, the embassy opens the appointments at the start of every semester and you have to book it as soon as possible like if you book within the first 10 to 20 minutes Then your appointment comes.
But if you are not available at that time or if you can’t book then your plan to come to Germany will be destroyed because you are stuck in a long queue that never ends. and then at the end of the semester embassy cancels the appointments and then opens them again in the next semester Now how will we know when appointments are open or when then they are being canceled? Well in the description I have given a link to the embassy page where the update comes.
The last time appointments opened was on 15 November, 2023. The possibilities for the next appointments to open are in May 2024 so you have to keep an eye on the embassy’s page that when will they open and then book timely And now let’s talk about.
mistake number three.'”
so in this mistake, students apply with the same generic documents in all universities.
You should not make this mistake and make personalized documents for every university See, now we cannot customize our all documents our degree our transcript our IELTS and previous result card will remain same but yes there are two documents that we can personalize your CV and your motivational letter, you can make them personalized for every university.
Motivational letter is specially important in it and you have to write it separately for every university Go to the website of your intended course look for the courses they teach, and then try to align your background accordingly with that course. Indeed you have learned many subjects in your previous studies.
But in motivational letter mention only those subjects and projects that are directly relevant to it This helps them understand that your background is perfectly good and that you can pursue this course so you receive the admission letter quickly so you should not make this mistake of submitting the same document same motivational letter to all universities.
mistake number two.
Now let’s talk about mistake number two, which many students make and, in fact, I made as well.
So, students like me do this, they shortlist universities and say that there is plenty of time left in the deadlines. so, when the time comes, we will apply a week or two beforehand. So, this is a big mistake, and you need to avoid it. Two years ago, when I was applying, I made the same mistake.
I applied in the last week so, despite having a good profile, 6 out of 7 universities rejected me I’ve told that entire story in this video, also you’ll get an idea about deadlines etc from this video But what I mean to say here is that apply as soon as possible don’t make the mistake of applying late Because the system of German universities is a bit different from Pakistani universities.
In Pakistan usually, we submit applications to the universities then they would publish the merit list on a particular date where we can see whether our number has come or not but in Germany, you receive a response in the same order in which you apply. So if you apply early, you receive the admission letter quickly.
number one.Â
Okay, now let’s move towards mistake number one. But if you want to talk to me then you can book a class with me on Calendly.com and also one request to like this video. So that it reaches more people and they can avoid these mistakes Okay, now let’s talk about mistake number one, which often leads to visa rejections.
that is poor visa interview performance meaning, you have to go through the complete process of studying in Germany. you need to obtain an admission letter, complete all your documents, and then finally attend a visa interview. For the visa interview, it’s not just about going you need to prepare for it.
During the visa interview, you are asked some common questions like this so you should have answers to all these questions you should know which university you are going to, which course you are pursuing, and why you are going. So it is very important Also when I went for a visa interview I was very excited even I had memorized all the courses from the university’s website Well, you don’t need to memorize all the courses but you should have an idea of what you will study, and how it will be impactful for your future.
Look, the visa interview is really important because one of the reasons for visa rejection is usually doubts on intentions If you don’t know which course you are pursuing, which university you are going to, or in which city you are going then questions are raised about your intentions, leading to visa rejection.
But the visa ratio of the German embassy is quite good, so often rejection doesn’t come. But still, we don’t want to take any chance. So you need to be prepared well. Also, I have included the top 10 questions in the description that you may be asked during the visa interview Also, I have put their sample answers in the document So, you can also download that PDF.
If you avoid these five mistakes then hopefully you will get a German student visa and you can come here to Germany and start your studies and also you can also earn a good amount of money.
And if you are wondering how much money a student can earn by doing a part-time job in Germany.
