Your plan as an Indian applicant

  1. 1

    Get your English score

    You need at least IELTS 7 or TOEFL iBT 95 (CEFR C1). 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.
