Do all dMAT applicants sit the same Subject Module, or does it vary by degree field?
No, most applicants sit one track, but not everyone. For the standard APS India route, every affected applicant sits the General Academic Module regardless of degree. Field-specific modules exist only for two named programs: RWTH Aachen's MSc Battery Science and Gottingen's MSc Data Science. Everyone else defaults to General Academic.
No, not everyone sits the same module, though most do. For the standard APS India route, every affected applicant sits for the General Academic Module, regardless of whether their undergraduate degree is in Engineering, Commerce, Finance, Economics, Business, or Management.
The Two Exceptions
Field-specific Subject Modules do exist, but they are currently tied to exactly two named German programs rather than to the general APS India process: RWTH Aachen University's MSc Battery Science and Technology in Engineering (which uses five discipline-specific tracks: Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering) and Georg-August University Gottingen's MSc Data Science (which uses a dedicated Data Science module).
What This Means for You
Outside these two universities and six named modules, every other APS India applicant defaults to the General Academic Module. Your target program, not your undergraduate degree, is what determines which of these applies to you.
My Advice
Do not assume your undergraduate major decides your Subject Module; the program you are applying to decides it. Confirm which track applies to you before you start preparing, since preparing for the wrong module wastes weeks.
