Hi! I’m an MBBS graduate from India and I’m interested in pursuing residency in Germany. I wanted to know the real ground reality from someone already there.
How difficult was learning German up to B2/C1 level?
How long did the entire process take after MBBS?
Which exams did you give (Goethe/TELC/FSP/Kenntnisprüfung)?
How difficult is the FSP and KP in reality?
Did you join any coaching institute? Was it worth it?
How much money did the whole process cost approximately?
How hard was it to get the first hospitation/job interview?
How is the work-life balance during residency?
Are residents treated well by seniors?
Which specialties are easier or harder to get for IMGs?
How much can a first-year resident realistically save?
Is the workload manageable compared to India?
Would you still choose Germany again if starting from zero?
What mistakes should an Indian MBBS graduate avoid during the process?
Thank you — I’d really appreciate honest advice.
