Your plan as an Indian applicant
- 1
Get your English score
You need at least IELTS 6 or TOEFL iBT 61 (CEFR B2). For the winter intake (1 April to 30 June), 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.

Check your degree and grade
German universities convert your CGPA and check that your Bachelor's covers enough of the subject for Data Science & AI. A 3-year Bachelor's is accepted by some programmes and not others.
