I just had a fantastic experience in German Consulate in Kolkata. Extremely professional, systematic and organised, from the staff in security check till the person who was in counter processing my documents. It just took 10mins for my entire process. My appointment date was on Monday (22March’21) & I got my Visa on Tuesday (23March’21) within 24hours. This is lighting fast breaking all world records and cannot be any better. ️

I don't know why this consulate has a low rating. I recently visited this place for my student visa and the staff here were nothing but friendly and helpful. I had the made a mistake with my dd but they guided me very well to correct the dd. If you have all the correct documents according to the checklist the whole process will be very smooth. I got my visa within 3 weeks of my interview appointment.
Everyone is helpful and everything is perfect if you follow the rules.
Impatient consulate officials I have ever talked to. Basically there is no good way to reach them and get solutions to your problems or seek advice, they enjoy making things more complicated disregarding the needs of Indian citizens. I don't understand their function if they cant even convey simple instructions properly to the masses especially during this critical times. The only way for me to communicate with another country is a consulate and here the consulate is just incompetent and trying to avoid dealing with people so they have less work. This is not how real Germans function. PS: this is just the phone call and email experience with the embassy cant imagine going into that place.
Good Service
I visited the consulate on 24 Jan 2020. Typical German efficiency and order. Had booked my appointment on line and the name was with the security Staff at the entry gate. My papers were in exact order as required in the check list. Got the VISA in 24 hours! It cant get faster than that. My advise, do your home work by collecting all documents as per the consulate on line check list. In correct format and order; don't get confused by YouTube chatter. The consulate web site is comprehensive enough! Apply in time, answer truthful and your application will be considered objectively.
The nearest prison "Alipore jail" is better than this place.
Very very bad experience. And now they are not helping people in this COVID-19 like My wife had got Dependent visa but it’s expired and she could not travel to Germany. So now how to reissue this visa or what steps to take next it’s not transparent :(
