Your plan as an Indian applicant

  1. 1

    Get your English score

    You need at least IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 88 or PTE 65 (CEFR C1). For the winter intake (1 February 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.
