Yes, you need to be aware of both the visa process and APS (Academic Evaluation Centre) certification for studying in Germany.

The APS certificate is mandatory for Indian students - it verifies your academic documents and is required for both university admission and your student visa application. Without it, you cannot proceed with your application.

The visa process also requires documents like your admission letter, proof of funds, health insurance, language proficiency, and passport. Both APS and visa processing can take several weeks to months, so early preparation is important.

If you need guidance, your LeapScholar counsellor can support you through each step.
