Germany wants to offer more jobs and study visas to Indians

With 60,000 Indian students already studying in Germany, the country views India as a key source to fill its 1.4 million job vacancies across sectors such as healthcare, information technology, education, construction, and public transport. German Foreign Minister, Mr. Johann Wadephul, in a joint press conference with Union Minister for External Affairs, Dr. S. Jaishankar, said Berlin would create more opportunities for Indian workers and students, describing their contribution as a success story given their high-income levels. Germany plans to expand its partner schools in India from 58 to 1,000 to strengthen German language training and attract more students. The country is also digitising visa processes to make migration faster and smoother.
Germany continues to position itself as an attractive alternative for Indian students and professionals, offering high-quality education, especially in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), largely in English. German officials stressed that the country needs 5,00,000 skilled workers annually across all levels, from highly skilled professionals to vocational trades, highlighting India’s critical role in meeting this demand.
