They talked to the German language teaching staff and interacted with the students. The visit was very interesting for both sides, the visitors expressed their appreciation for the institution’s service to Germany through the Indo-German bilingual engineering programs.

The Embassy of India in Berlin and various student associations in Germany recently founded the Indian Students in Germany (ISG) initiative. ISG aims to:

• Share information on visas, scholarships, job opportunities, cultural events, and more.
• Provide emergency contacts for Indian students in Germany.
• Connect students with potential employers in India and Germany.

IGCHE students in Germany should register at the ISG portal to receive valuable information.

90 Students enrolled in PSG GST this year, in Automobile Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering. They will study at PSG IAS for three years and learn German at the PSG German Language Centre before they switch to Germany for their final year.

We are looking forward to welcoming them at the IGCHE partner universities in Germany!

Last Friday they paid a visit to the Westphalian University. Nine computer science, seven robotics and two mechanical engineering students, accompanied by their PSG German language teachers Dr. Suganthi and Mrs. Pavithra, visited faculty labs and also Halle 1, a lab run by students where they can realise any project they have on their minds.

Trips to Amsterdam, Luxemburg, Bingen and other European cities are part of the itinerary, too. The Summer School in Germany will certainly boost their language proficiency and study confidence.

The joint bilingual Bachelor's programmes of PSG and IGCHE, which have been successful for years, now finally have a home. With the PSGIAS German School of Technology, these programmes will continue to grow and cooperation in the education of students will be intensified. Representatives from over twenty German DHIK universities, the DAAD, the German Indian Round Table Coimbatore, Goethe-Institut and of course students, teachers and leaders from PSG took part. The Chief Guest was Dr Kathrin Misera-Lang, Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany, Chennai.
