Feeling lost with the study abroad process. How do I decide on universities and countries?
Hi everyone, I've been trying to plan my Master's abroad, but honestly I'm feeling quite overwhelmed and I think I've fallen behind because of my work schedule. A little about me: I'm from India. I have around 3 years of experience working as an SAP Integration Consultant (SAP CPI/PI-PO, Integration Suite, and some ABAP) . I'm planning to pursue a Master's in January 2027 (Winter Intake) , preferably in Europe. The problem is that there is so much information online that I'm struggling to figure out the right approach. Every YouTube video, consultancy, and website seems to suggest something different. These are the things I'm confused about: How did you shortlist countries before choosing universities? Is it better to prioritize university rankings, curriculum, tuition fees, job opportunities after graduation, or location? For someone with my profile (3 years of SAP/IT experience), would you recommend Germany or another European country? How many universities should I realistically apply to? When should I start preparing documents like SOP, LORs, APS (if applicable), IELTS, etc.? Is it worth taking help from consultancies, or is applying on my own a better option? What mistakes do…
