Placement Information at German International College

German International College (GIC) is renowned for its robust placement ecosystem, designed to bridge the gap between academic excellence and professional success. As a premier institution in Germany welcoming Indian students, GIC emphasizes practical training, industry partnerships, and global employability skills. With Germany's booming economy—especially in engineering, IT, automotive, and renewable energy sectors—our graduates are highly sought after. For the upcoming intake in Winter 2024/2025, GIC offers enhanced placement support tailored for international students, including visa guidance for post-study work permits under the EU Blue Card scheme.

Our placement cell, the Career Development Center (CDC), operates year-round to ensure seamless transitions from campus to career. Over 85% of our students secure placements within six months of graduation, with an average starting salary of €45,000–€60,000 annually (approximately ₹40–52 lakhs). This is particularly appealing for Indian students, as Germany's job market favors STEM graduates, and many companies offer relocation support, including language training in German for better integration.
