Student life in Sweden

First of all, based on current scenario dont come to Sweden,if you are planned to study by paying the tuition fee. From 2011 Autumn intake, tuition fee is compulsory for all students from non-european nations, some exceptions are there, but India is not in that exception. If you are going to take 2 year program in 2011 Fall intake means, you no need to pay any fees for the second year also.

You may get scholarship once the fee has been implemented. You can read the government order about tuition fee here: http://www.regeringen.se/sb/d/11317/a/131434

I studied in University of Borås. My perspective is only based on Borås not on other universities in Sweden. Situations may be similar. Here most of the Indians are South Indians. Especially Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Even some of the North Indians were graduated from South India only. Here main part time job is Paper distribution. That too from 2.00 AM to 6.00 AM. It is very difficult to distribute in Sweden climate. Even people are doing for the money sake. There is high demand for this job also, so you wont get job easily. Since the education is free most of the Telugu guys are doing 2 master / 3 master programs. Simply enroll their name in any course and do the paper distribution as their professional job. Other part time job available is cleaning in restaurant - very limited.

After finishing the course, many people trying for Denmark. Denmark is having some point system for applying Work permit. You can search in google for getting more information about this.
