Indian-origin founder urges students to avoid taking loans for 'scammy' German universities: 'They sell y

An Indian-origin founder has cautioned students against taking loans to attend certain German universities, describing them as 'scammy' and accusing them of selling false promises. The founder, whose name was not disclosed, urged students to thoroughly research institutions before committing to expensive programs.

The warning comes amid a growing trend of Indian students seeking education abroad, with Germany emerging as a popular destination due to its low tuition fees. However, the founder alleged that some universities exploit this demand by offering substandard courses and misleading marketing.

The founder advised students to avoid taking loans for such programs, emphasizing that the financial burden could outweigh any potential benefits. Instead, they recommended focusing on accredited universities with transparent practices.

The statement has sparked discussions among the Indian diaspora about the importance of due diligence when choosing international education options. No specific universities were named in the warning.
