Hi there Devanshubose,

Sorry for the delayed response. I’m glad to hear that you’re interested in pursuing an education in Germany!

To answer your question, the answer is both yes and no. You do require 13 years of education, but there’s a way around this. Students applying for an undergraduate course in Germany have to undertake a one – year bridge program. This is to compensate for 13 years of school education in Germany compared to 12 years in India.

In order to be eligible for this bridging course, students from India are required to have an excellent academic record up to Senior Secondary Level (10 + 2), and must have basic knowledge of the German language (G III Level of Max Mueller Bhavans).

After completion of the bridge program, Indian students are required to pass an assessment test in order to get admission into a German institution for the equivalent of the Bachelors degree. Students who have cleared the IIT Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) will be exempted from the assessment test. Students who have successfully completed two years of undergraduate studies are also exempted from the assessment test. However, they have to prove their proficiency in the German language.

In regards to the second part of your question, UNI Assist is a certification office founded to make the application procedure for international student applicants easier and at the same time to support German universities in the selection of their foreign students.

All applicants wanting to study at one of the members of Uni-assist have to send their applications not to the chosen university, but to Uni-assist.

I hope that answers your questions.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me.

Thanks!

Thanks MayMay,

I have 12 years education with 95.6% in 10th n 72% in 12th with IELTS 8. I would like to know if i stand any chance for the german preparatory course admission (leading to BEng in govt. institutions of higher education only).Also, the agents here charge heavily for the application process and apparently without agents admission chances are bleak since the international students can’t judge which university minimum standards they can meet.I would like to know if there is a cheaper way to apply and stil be sure which university you have a decent chance to get into.

Dear shivalipai,

You use our School Finder Tool through which you can directly apply to some of the good universities abroad.
