Your plan as an Indian applicant
- 1
Get your English score
You need at least IELTS 6.5 (CEFR B2). For the winter intake (1 April to 15 July), take the test at least 3 months earlier so a retake still fits. For the student visa from India, the German missions accept IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge (not older than 1 year) and do not recognise PTE, Duolingo or TOEFL home edition, so IELTS or TOEFL covers both steps.
- 2
Check your degree and grade
No fixed minimum. The university says a converted grade of 2.0 or better gives good chances of admission. (1.0 is the best grade.) German universities convert your CGPA and check that your Bachelor's covers enough of the subject for Computer Science & IT. A 3-year Bachelor's is accepted by some programmes and not others.

Get your APS certificate (and check the dMAT)
Indian applicants need the APS certificate for the student visa, and uni-assist expects it with your application to Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. A new admission test, the dMAT, is being introduced for some Indian applicants; check whether it applies to your degree and intake.
