Hi @neha_serenity,
If you’re planning to pursue a Master’s in Germany after B.Com, especially in Human Resources (HR), it’s highly recommended to gain relevant work experience first. HR roles in Germany usually require fluent German since the work involves dealing with local laws, policies, and people. While there is career scope in HR, competition is high, and language skills are crucial. So, gaining experience and improving your German can significantly increase your chances of both admission and job opportunities. I hope this will help.
