Your plan as an Indian applicant

  1. 1

    Get your English score

    You need at least IELTS 5.5, TOEFL iBT 72 or PTE 59 (CEFR B2). Take the test early enough that a retake still fits before the deadline. 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.
