Make Sure You Get It Right<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Applying to German Universities from India can be a bit of a minefield, and there are two main hurdles most applicants face &#8211; the APS Certificate and the Uni-assist VPD. Just getting your APS Certificate sorted out takes around 3 months on its own, and then Uni-assist needs another 4-6 weeks to get your documents in order. If you&#8217;re aiming for the 2026 winter intake, be aware that your application window slams shut at the end of May 2026 \u2013 not the official July 15 deadline many think it is.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Need_To_Know\"><\/span><strong>What You Need To Know<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get the APS sorted first<\/strong>: You need your APS Certificate before Uni-assist will even consider your VPD application &#8211; start that process in March or April if you want to get into a winter intake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Uni-Assist VPD takes ages<\/strong>: Get your VPD application in as early as possible, even before the university application period opens, as it takes 4-6 weeks to process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Winter Intake is the Big Deal<\/strong>: This is where the majority of Master&#8217;s programmes are, 80-90% of them to be exact. Summer intake options are super limited.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blocked Account Amount Still Same<\/strong>: The amount is still 11,904 euros for 2026, and you get 992 euros a month after you arrive- a nice bit of extra cash!<\/li>\n<li><strong>dMAT for Selected Master&#8217;s Students<\/strong>: If you did a Bachelor&#8217;s in Engineering, Commerce, Economics, or Management, then check the APS India website to see if you need a dMAT &#8211; this requirement has been added for some courses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Really_Apply_To_A_German_Uni_As_An_Indian_Student\"><\/span><strong>Can You Really Apply To A German Uni As An Indian Student?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-25665651 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/pensive-woman-scratching-head-with-pen-sitting-bench-300x200.webp\" alt=\"Can You Really Apply To A German Uni As An Indian Student?\" width=\"714\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/pensive-woman-scratching-head-with-pen-sitting-bench-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/pensive-woman-scratching-head-with-pen-sitting-bench-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/pensive-woman-scratching-head-with-pen-sitting-bench-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/pensive-woman-scratching-head-with-pen-sitting-bench-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/pensive-woman-scratching-head-with-pen-sitting-bench-2048x1366.webp 2048w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/pensive-woman-scratching-head-with-pen-sitting-bench-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/pensive-woman-scratching-head-with-pen-sitting-bench-750x500.webp 750w, https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/pensive-woman-scratching-head-with-pen-sitting-bench-1140x760.webp 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, you can. If you have a recognised Bachelor&#8217;s degree, then you&#8217;re good to go for a Master&#8217;s course. If you finished grade 12 with the right qualifications, then you&#8217;re good for a Bachelor&#8217;s course too. Just watch out for the key differences between public and private universities, and German-taught and English-taught programmes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Public vs Private University Dilemma<\/strong>: Public universities are super competitive and only charge a semester fee (usually 100-350 euros), but private ones charge tuition and often have looser admission requirements. For public universities, you usually have to go through Uni-assist or a direct portal to apply.<\/p>\n<p><strong>English vs German Taught Courses<\/strong>: If you want an English-taught programme, you need IELTS or TOEFL, but if you want a German-taught programme, you need TestDaF, DSH, or a Goethe certificate &#8211; check the programme you&#8217;re interested in before you apply to see what they need.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/course\/german-language-course\/?utm_source=german-language&amp;utm_medium=blog_referral&amp;utm_campaign=german-tenses-explained\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn German language in your own language!
