Entry Requirements

Grades, language scores and documents you need for German universities.

What German Universities Expect

  • Bachelors: 12th grade + Studienkolleg (or 1 year of Indian Bachelors / JEE Advanced for direct entry at some universities)
  • Masters: relevant Bachelors degree, typically 65%+ for good universities
  • APS certificate: mandatory for Indian students since 2022
  • English programs: IELTS 6.0–6.5 or TOEFL 80–90
  • German programs: TestDaF 4 or DSH-2 (roughly C1)
  • SOP, LORs, CV and transcripts for every application

Uni-Assist and Direct Applications

Many universities process international applications through uni-assist, which pre-checks your documents; others accept direct applications through their own portals. We track every deadline and route your applications correctly.

Costs, Funding & Scholarships

Studying in Germany is famously affordable, and scholarships can lower your costs further. We help you plan your budget and apply for the right funding.

  • Public universities: little or no tuition — only a small semester fee of €150–€350
  • Living costs: budget around €11,904 per year (the blocked-account requirement)
  • Scholarships: DAAD, Deutschlandstipendium and university-specific awards
  • Education loans with or without collateral, accepted as visa financial proof

Career & PR Pathway

A German degree comes with an 18-month post-study job-seeker visa. Once you find qualified work you can switch to an EU Blue Card, and later apply for permanent residency — often within just 2–3 years of starting work. Germany's shortage of skilled professionals means strong demand for graduates in engineering, IT, healthcare and research.
