If you apply through the domestic selection procedure, your deadline is 15 July at 12:00 noon CET every year. If you apply from abroad, the date is set by the KAS office for your region instead, so you need to confirm it with them directly.

How to prepare in time

  • Confirm your eligibility and decide which route applies to you.
  • Look up the German language requirement and get your proof of proficiency ready.
  • Make sure your course meets the programme conditions.
  • Collect academic records and supporting documents, and request references or admission papers early.
  • Review the application for gaps and keep copies of what you submit.

My Advice

Aim to finish your application at least a week before 15 July, since the cut-off is at noon CET and time zones can catch you out. If you are applying from India or another country abroad, write to the responsible KAS office early to get exact dates.
