Information for prospective Indian students on the APS certificate
Applicants for Master's degree programs from India have to have their certificates checked by the Academic Evaluation Centre (APS India) of the German Embassy in New Delhi before they can apply in Germany. After a positive review, they receive an APS certificate, which must be submitted as part of the application.
The following applies for the Winter semester 2023/2024:
For applicants with Indian educational certificates it is not yet compulsory to submit an APS certificate together with their application to uni-assist. From 15 March, applications that do not yet include an APS certificate will be processed and forwarded to TU Dortmund University if the preliminary examination is positive. After this date, applications that have been rejected before 15 March due to the lack of an APS certificate will be processed by uni-assist as soon as possible. Applicants who are admitted to a Master's degree program for the Winter semester 2023/2024 must submit their APS certificate as soon as possible. Admitted applicants can only be enrolled within the regular enrollment deadlines if an APS certificate is available.
