hey anyone there who showed only 1year visa funds and got visa approved? Indian?

Hey everyone,

I’ve just finished my 12th exams (PCM stream) in India, and I’m planning my future path. I wanted some honest opinions from people who’ve gone through similar journeys.

Here’s my plan:

Step 1:

Go to Italy for my Bachelor’s (likely Computer Science or related field).

Reason: low fees, easier entry compared to other European countries.

Step 2 (During Bachelor’s):

Maintain high CGPA (target 8.5+/10)

Build strong coding and technical skills

Work on projects + internships

Improve English (IELTS 7+)

Step 3:

Try for transfer to a better university within Italy (if possible), otherwise complete my degree there.

Step 4:

Apply for Master’s in top-tier European universities (Germany / Netherlands / Switzerland / France).

Target: Top 100 global universities.

Step 5:

After Master’s, get a job in Europe and settle there.

Backup plan:

I’m also preparing for CUET and considering BSc CS in India as a backup, and even looking at polytechnic as a last fallback option.

My questions:

How realistic is this overall plan?

Is Italy a good starting point or should I reconsider?

How hard is it to get into top EU universities for Master’s from an average Italian university?

What should I focus on the most during my Bachelor’s to make this work?

Any major risks or mistakes in this plan that I’m missing?

Would really appreciate honest advice, even if it’s harsh. I’d rather know the reality now than regret later.

Thanks!
