Your plan as an Indian applicant

1. 1

   Get your English score

   You need at least IELTS 5.5 or PTE 59 (CEFR B2). For the winter intake (until 15 July), take the test at least 3 months earlier so a retake still fits.

   Check your degree and grade

   The programme asks for 2.3 or better on the German scale (1.0 is best). 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.
