Study / How hard is it to get accepted to Wroclaw University of Technology? / Unis in general? [37]
I think that the quality of courses is also affected by the lack of substantial biochemical industry in Poland. So it cannot be very motivating to teach future unemployed. And ratio of people getting lab job after biochemistry in Poland is extremely low. IT department should be much better, because of quite strong IT sector, presence of international IT companies in the city, so because of that teachers know that students are taught to become real engineers.

- here they say that Warsaw is around 25% cheaper, when comparing with Berlin (considered in Germany as a cheap city).
- SGH is the best in Poland, but I don't think that it's recognized internationally, so if you don't plan to work in Poland after graduation, perhaps better do master in Germany.

What did you mean DominicB ? That Wroclaw University of Technology is 3rd in Poland? I don't get this comparison with Imperial. IT there shouldn't be so outdated as Biochemistry. Anyway it changes so fast that it's enough that they teach you some bases and in your 1st job you will have to learn something what wasn't taught in university anyway. Since you're for English course in Polish uni, it won't be free. Then you may consider pjwstk.edu.pl - as it's best private school in Poland and they should be quite up to date with currents IT trends. What more AGH, or Politechnika Warszawska are considered same good as Politechnika Wrocławska. With bad marks probably you have no chances for IT course in polish there. Have no Idea how big competition would be in English. Must be lower, as it's not free. (or maybe something has changed and they do now free courses in English in Poland)

Life / New to Poland (Bydgoszcz) - cost of living there [46]
When working in city car is not necessary, then monthly ticket for public transport costs max 120zł.
Of course there are taxes in Poland: [taxrates.cc/html/poland-tax-rates.html]. But what you should care is only that from Gross salary after income tax and obligatory insurance deduction you will be left with 30 - 40% less. Meaning net is 60 - 70 % of gross salary.
With 2000 PLN net you can live sparingly. If you want to have a little bit of joy from consumption then you should get min 3000 PLN net.
And according to this page: median salary for IT workers in Kujawsko Pomorskie (region where Bydgoszcz is) is 4500PLN Gross. It's 3200PLN Net.
Large companies in Poland tend to pay more. In addition to differences that were evident at the level of provinces, significant discrepancies in pay notice in enterprises of all sizes. As seen in Table 1, together with the size of the company grows median wages. The smallest employers offered an average of 3 900 PLN , while in large companies (employing 1 000 people or more ), the median salaries amounted to 7 000 PLN.
The higher in the hierarchy of the higher earnings. The IT industry is no different from others in that it , together with the senior organization earnings were higher. Rank and file employees earned 3 500 PLN , but the income of specialist positions amounted to 6 000 PLN . Average salary of managers in this sector amounted to 8 700 PLN . More earned only directors and representatives of the board. Median their wages amounted to 15 000 PLN . So it was more than 4 times higher than regular employees , and 2.5 -fold surpassed salary specialists.

As it's Bydgoszcz I would expect minimum 2000pln net. Link to IT salaries in Poland I gave here:
Bydgoszcz doesn't belong to top biggest cities in Poland, so I guess salaries there are around 50% of those in Warsaw.
Cost of living you can check in Numbeo. Here you have Warsaw to Bydgoszcz price & earnings comparison: As you can see Bydgoszcz has a lot lower rent prices comparing with Warsaw.

Could you give me link to pictures presenting fast whole city of Banglore? I was watching on skyscrapercity.com office parks of international companies in Banglore and they looked impressive. I have college from there and would like to know how city looks also out of IT parks.
Your question is very general. Starts from reading:

wikitravel.org/en/Warsaw
and maybe
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw
You don't have to remind all the time that Warsaw is in Mazowieckie voivodship, as there is only one Warsaw in Europe ;)
Poland has the smallest number of immigrants in Europe. So don't expect meeting many Indians. On the other hand the biggest number of foreigners live in the capital.
For polish food you can watch random youtube recipes: youtube.com/results?search_query=Poland+Cuisine
Schools are payed from taxes and thus free. But for polish/EU nationals, don't know about immigrants.
Don't think there is racism at work, because we have no foreigners ;) Anyway I don't think that people in IT are racists, as it's international work. You can ask more specific question to get more specific answers.

Law / what is the deposit amount insured in Poland by the banks [8]
I think that up to 100 000 euro per 1 person for all bankrupting banks. So it's better distribute money between few banks. So if one of them bankrupts then nothing is lost. But if 2 banks are bankrupting and in both of them you have over 100 000 euro total (for example 60 000 in 1 and 60 000 in 2nd), then your cash above 100 000 is not insured ( up to 20 000 can be lost).
If it's not correct please correct me.
