They have very good reputation in Germany," Ackermann said on Friday.The German Ambassador to India said a growing number of Indian students come to Germany. "We have now 35,000, I have another 32,000 applications on the table of the embassy. That's quite a lot, actually. And unfortunately, we need a little time to process these applications. I know that some students might be a little frustrated that it doesn't go as quickly as they had expected, but I can tell you that, in principle, Indian students are very welcome in Germany," he said.He said German universities are very keen on having Indian students and have a very good reputation in Germany and that students should be very careful before working together with agencies."I would advise every student from Punjab to make an application in Germany, a verification of the documents on his or her own.
