Admissions to German universities

I had applied to two German universities namely stuttgart and hamburg. I thought that due to their not so high overall ranking(I usually refer to arwu.org) the chances should be high. But I got rejected even before I could submit my complete application. How to decide which univs. are safe to apply?

    Hi Ashish, Most German Universities are state owned and in general require students with atleast 8.0 CGPA or 80% percent marks and also fairly decent knowledge of German language to be considered for admissions. In fact most German Universities offer programs free of cost and so they receive lots of very high quality application. I met a German University professor who mentioned that they give preference to students with GRE ( atleast 300 plus) as well along with High Academic marks ( 80%). So if you do not fall in that range, do not apply to German Universities. All the best.
