Germany APS Certificate Explained for Indian Students

APS verifies that your Indian education is equivalent to German requirements. Without APS, most universities won't process your application.

Who needs APS?

Most Indian students applying to German universities for bachelor's or master's require APS. Some categories may have special rules, but for most students APS is mandatory.

Documents typically required

  • 10th and 12th marksheets and certificates
  • Bachelor's degree certificate
  • All semester mark sheets (no gaps)
  • Passport copy and a recent photo

Mistakes that slow down your APS result

  • Missing or unclear scans of back-side of marksheets.
  • Name mismatch between certificates and passport.
  • Unclear backlog or repeat exam history.

Fix issues before applying = faster decisions and less back-and-forth.
