Congratulations on getting an admit from TUM!There's a bunch of things, you'll need to do now. So, this is going to be a long answer.Four major things:a. Admission to TUM, Enrollment into your course;b. Opening of blocked account, Visa procedures;c. Preparing yourself, flight bookings etc.; andd. Finding a place to stay in Munich[EDIT]: I am elaborating here from an Indian student’s perspective in general. So, a few of the steps (e.g. visa procedures, opening of blocked account etc.) might not be relevant for you.Some of these steps need to be taken up together, as you would see.:a. Admission to TUM, Enrollment into your course:Accept your study place offer on the TUM-online portal. Once that is done, you will get an option to pay the semester fees. That's the next step.Pay the semester fees, as directed on the TUM portal: you may have to visit your bank for this. Get done with this step at the earliest. Preferably before Mid-May. Make sure you follow the directions for payment that have been given on the TUM portal (e.g. adding a note with your sem, application number etc. when initiating the transfer).Once your admission requirements (as asked for on the TUM-online portal) are fulfilled, you should get the admit letter from TUM at your postal address. You would be able to download the same from the online portal also. The admit letter is a critical document, which you will need for Visa, city registration, availing loans etc.b. Opening of blocked account, Visa proceduresFor visa purposes, as you might be aware already, you would need to get a blocked account opened in a German bank. It's basically an account which would hold the minimum amount of funds (in Euros) required for German student visa. You would be able to use it for your expenses once you get to Munich and unlock it after you are done with Munich city registration (more about this later). Personally, I have found Deutsche Bank to be best-suited for this purpose as they have plenty of branches in Munich -some fairly close to TUM campus as well, and there are several branches in Indian cities as well. Edit: Kotak Mahindra Bank also provided this service last when I checked in 2016, though their procedure is a little different.Once you are done with the fund deposit in India, and other formalities of opening the account from DB branch in India, it takes about a week or two for the account on the German side to get set up. Collect the document confirming blocked account set up and Euro funds deposit in the DB counterpart account in Germany (gets set up at the Hamburg branch as far as I remember). You will get this letter from the local DB branch. You will need this for the visa -next step. Also, you will get details of an account set up in DB India, with debit card etc. I think while opening the blocked account, you are required to deposit a minimum of INR 100,000 in this account. You'll need this DB India account during your initial days in Germany (more about this later). You may alternatively get in touch with DB Germany directly, courier them the required docs, and by-pass the whole process of having to open an additional DB India account.Visa: Plan your travel to Munich -an approximate date of travel would suffice at this point, as long as you finalize your date of travel to be AFTER the date that you decide for the Visa. Mid-September should do, as the Winter semester starts in Sep-end or early October. Visit the website for German student visa, set up the visa interview date -in your case with the local office at Kolkata (check here: Germany Visa Information - India (Kolkata) - Home Page). Make sure you have all the documents necessary for the visa interview. Rejection rates are low, but make sure you are prepared and have all the documents in order. You would need to buy a temporary travel health insurance for the first few days in Munich, till your German insurance starts (more about this later). There’s also the option to already start your German Public Health Insurance. Check TK or AOK websites for this. Do get done with visa documents submission/interview at the earliest. Takes a while for the visa to arrive.c. Flight bookings, Preparing yourself,etc.Book your flight when you have finalized your travel plans -preferably AFTER you have received your student visa. I would recommend calling up the airlines that you wish to travel with and request luggage concessions in view of your student visa. Many times, airlines let you carry upto 40kg of luggage instead of the standard 30kg if you have a student visa. Every kg will matter, you'll see.Moving to Germany -or any new country for that matter, is a big step and has its own set of challenges in store. More so if you do not speak the language. It would help you a lot, if you prepare yourself for the challenges:Start learning German, if you haven't already. German is the lingua franca and the only official language in Germany. Even though you will be able to manage somehow with English in Munich, eventually you will have to learn. The sooner you start, the easier your transition to living in Germany would be. Learning basic German is easier than people make it to be.Study. You won't generally get this advice from most people. However, since you will be in Germany for a masters course, it would be best if you revise stuff from your bachelors course. Revise Algorithms, DS, AI etc, the best you can. The teaching and exam processes at TUM is generally a bit different from how things are generally done in Indian universities. The exams are tough, and test your fundamentals thoroughly. Also, most lessons and profs will assume that you have a good grasp of the fundamentals. If you have bandwidth to study and prepare now, get started.Connect with other people. Check blogs for tips for people travelling to Germany/Europe from India for studies. It will help you prepare for packing and other things. Join internet/FB/Whatsapp etc. groups for this purpose if you can. They are handy.Spend time with family and friends: The time that you have before you go overseas is limited and valuable. Spend some time with your family and friends. You're going to miss home. Everybody does. Make sure you make the best of time at home while you can.Relationships: This point may be irrelevant if you're single. Speak to your girlfriend/boyfriend about how you're going to manage the long distance stuff with different time zones. Set realistic expectations. You're going to have parallel lives and some tough times. It's not impossible. It takes a little maturity and effort, and a whole lotta love.Learn to cook! This is an important skill and you will have to learn how to prepare basic dishes for yourself. All hostels/rooms etc. have access to a community/personal kitchen. You get most of the ingredients for preparing Indian food (spices, veggies etc.) in Munich, though a few times as expensive as in India. But, you will need to cook for your sustenance. Everybody does -students from all nationalities cook their meals themselves. Eating out is generally expensive and not too healthy to be consumed for all your meals. So, if you don't know how to cook, start learning. You might even find a new passion.d. Finding a place to stay in MunichAt this point, I must let you know that the steps a. through d. are in increasing order of difficulty. One of the toughest things to do is to find a place to stay in Munich. Most people would agree that, for people who got selected for a course at TUM, getting through the course was easier than finding an inexpensive place to stay in München. Not impossible though, fortunately.Start looking up on internet for hostels or sub-lets etc for staying in Munich. If you find anything for less than EUR 400 a month, consider yourself lucky. Start looking ASAP -your chances of finding a place before you arrive go up if you start early. Believe me, you would want to have a place to crash at when you reach in Germany.The body which administers and allots rooms to students studying at universities in Munich is called Studentenwerk (Accommodation - Studentenwerk München). However, rooms are few, and the allotment is on first come, first served basis. So, waiting periods can be anything between one to two or even three semesters. Apply as soon as you can (Wintersemester registrations start on May 15, I think), but don't depend on StuWe rooms -there's a good chance you will have to wait at least one semester.Start checking up on internet/Facebook groups, try your network of friends and relatives -you might just be able to find decent housing for the few months (or sems) before you get a room from Studentenwerk. There are a bunch of other housing options suggested on the StuWe website, check those out as well.Once you reach Munich, there are a few things you would need to do before you start your course at TUM. Get yourself a three day pass for the MVV (Munich public transportation system) at the airport U-bahn station (Read up about the MVV network) when you arrive. You are going to need this pass till you have your student card and semester pass. At this point, I hope you have a place to stay in Munich-atleast temporarily.Register at KVR: Register yourself at the Munich circle registration office (Kreisverwaltungsreferat or KVR) at Ruppertstraße 19. You have to register your address of residence here, post which they give you a confirmation of city registration. You will need this for unblocking your blocked account as well as for setting up your student insurance membership. Check the website for docs required and KVR timings. You will have to get this done, every time you change your address.Student health insurance: Go to TUM main building (at Arcisstraße) during office hours and look for desks set up (by TK, AOK etc.) for student health insurance. Take your passport, a photograph, city registration papers from KVR and details of your bank account. Set up health insurance with any of them. This is mandatory. And you need the confirmation from your insurance company for completing admission formalities at TUM.Complete admission at TUM: Once you are done with the Insurance, take any other pending documents, and go to Immatrikulationsamt (admissions office) at TUM (main building again) and complete admission formalities. You may get your student card right away, or they will let you know when can you come and collect the same -most probably next day.Unblock bank account: Go to Deutsche Bank head office at Marienplatz (the city centre) with the city registration document from KVR, your passport and the letter that you had got from DB when you were in India. You'll need to unblock your blocked account. When you leave for Germany, make sure you carry some Euros in cash and in a bank account with you (the DB India account from b. 2. above will help, or you could get a multi-currency Forex Card from India), for survival and sustenance till the blocked account is unblocked -takes about week from your initiating the process. Remember that only chip cards work in ATMs there, not the strip ones. You might not be able to use the Indian chip cards especially Visa cards at some stores. So you may have to withdraw cash.Extend your visa: The student visa that you get while leaving from India would be valid for 3 (or sometimes 6) months only. Once you are done with settling in and have your student card, bank account, and insurance ready; you will have to go to KVR again for extending your student visa for the whole duration of your course. You can do this any time before your visa expires -but the earlier you go, lesser the rush would be. You may have to take an appointment for this and the interview room for this would be different from your previous visit. Check on KVR's website. Go early, avoid the rush.That should get you started. Munich is a beautiful city with amazing people. At TUM, you would get to study and work with people from all over the world and from many fields. Also, Munich is connected to many places in Europe. (I have done weekend trips to Prague). There are some challenges, of course, that you'll face sometimes when settling into life in Germany. A sense of adventure, a little humour, and a desire to widen life's horizons always helps.As they say, magic happens outside your comfort zone. Good luck!(Some edits for Grammar and content)
