Your plan as an Indian applicant
- 1
Get your English score
You need at least IELTS 6, TOEFL iBT 85 or PTE 59 (CEFR B2). For the winter intake (1 May to 31 May), 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
2.5 or better, or a place in the best 51% of graduates of your programme. (1.0 is the best grade.) German universities convert your CGPA and check that your Bachelor's covers enough of the subject for Electrical, Electronics & Embedded. 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; most universities also ask for it with the application, so check what Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg asks for on the official page.
