Does my academic history with no backlogs and 8.56 CGPA affect my eligibility in Germany for a Master's?

Yes, your academic history with an 8.56 CGPA and no backlogs makes you well-qualified for master's programs in Germany.
Most German universities require at least a 2.5 on their grading scale (around 65% or 7.0 CGPA in India). Your CGPA translates to about 1.4 on the German scale, which is well above the typical minimum.
Admission criteria can vary by university and program, so some competitive courses may expect higher grades. Also, make sure you meet other requirements like language proficiency (IELTS/TOEFL) and any program-specific prerequisites.
Your profile is strong for master's admission in Germany. If you need help with next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
