Assuming you don't speak any of the three languages in question, I suggest you pick wherever if these schools has the best network in your own country. Try looking on LinkedIn.

Dear Rohit,

EBS is a good school with a strong industry network in Germany. Also has very good top-tier partner universities in India. Their LinkedIn profile also shows a strong presence of alumni working in IT consulting sector. hence I believe the school will be a good fit for you.

My final advice to you would be to start taking up intensive German language courses.

As per your suggestion I have looked up the alumni network of these Schools. Out of these EBS has the strongest network of Indians but that is because IIM A, B ; IIT Madras; SP Jain are among its partner universities. Most of the profiles I came across had done their exchange/ international semesters in EBS.

Have you considered any UK-based programs? Landing an MBA-level role on the continent, without already knowing one of the languages, will be tough.
