Key Requirements & Aptitude Tests for German Universities

📝 TestAS & DMAT Entrance Tests

Top public universities require TestAS (Test for Academic Studies) or digital aptitude tests like DMAT to measure cognitive and academic suitability. High TestAS scores significantly boost acceptance rates for competitive English-taught courses.

📜 Mandatory APS Certificate

An APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) certificate issued by the German Embassy in New Delhi is compulsory for Indian students before applying for university seats or student visas. Our team manages your full document evaluation workflow.

💶 German Blocked Account (Sperrkonto)

To prove living expenses for visa issuance, students must deposit funds into a German Blocked Account (~€11,904/year or €992/month). We assist with instant setup via Expatrio, Fintiba, and Coracle.

🗣️ Language & Academic Proficiency

For English-taught programs, an IELTS score of 6.5+ or TOEFL score of 90+ is required. Basic German (A1/A2 level) provides a massive advantage for part-time jobs (Werkstudent) and local networking.
