Your plan as an Indian applicant
- 1
Get your English score
You need at least IELTS 5.5 or PTE 59 (CEFR B2). For the winter intake (15 April 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.
