Recently I applied for masters in germany  for a total of 10+ universities, and get rejected by each and every one of them.  I believe that my low grades (2nd class lower, equivalent to a C grade) are the primary reasons why noone would take me. I feel so sad as I spend so much time and effort in doing additional test, the GRE and also the IELTS (both of which has good scores (GRE- 314, IELTS 7.5), in addition to my 5 year working experience in a manufacturing industry, (though not a MNC).

At one point, I feel like killing myself. Luckily the feeling pass away quickly. I just don't know what I should do. I can continue working, and hopefully change jobs to a more meaningful one, but at this point, I just want to improve my knowledge skills in a german university, and also gain some networking opportunities, and I can't see myself doing that changing jobs.

I sincerely asked that people who are in a similar experience or knows someone like me to please give me some guidance.

I'm doing engineering, and would like to explore my options in the technical fields, such as mechatronics, electronics, or even computer science. If there is no way, I guess I can do management with engineering masters. My background is Mechatronic Engineering.

Have you tried applying in local unis?
German universities look at grades as a serious requirement. They don't know you, can't verify your work experience and your university syllabus so they're left with looking at your results. If even your results don't qualify, they wont bother considering the rest.

I have not.. Sorry for being ignorant about it, but do you think I could qualify for masters in local unis? And will the cost be affordable?

Local unis will consider you Malaysian working experience. I can't confirm this but from my personal experience, it matters. They might relax the requirement if they know the company you're working in offers a challenging environment or the university you got your degree from is a good malaysian uni.
