Germany Universities & admissions Questions

Yes, your dMAT score appears on the APS certificate issued via g.a.s.t. Since every university that receives your APS documents sees the same certificate, you cannot hide a weaker result from some applications. The score travels with your file to every programme you apply to.

No, the dMAT is not pass or fail. A low score does not deny you the APS certificate, and the score appears on the certificate g.a.s.t. issues. Universities assess the result independently, so a good score does not guarantee admission and a low score does not automatically mean rejection.

It depends on the topic. APS India (info@aps-india.de) handles the APS procedure, document verification, affected groups, and exemptions. g.a.s.t. (kontakt@gast.de) handles registration, payment, test centres, test format, results, and certificate downloads. Route your query correctly the first time to avoid delays during your application window.

The process has four steps. Check your institution on anabin first, then register at d-mat.de by 15 September 2026 and pay the EUR 150 fee, sit the dMAT on 26 September 2026, and submit your certificate with your APS documents after results are published on 12 October 2026.

Yes, and it is the single most important step before you register. anabin.kmk.org shows how German authorities classify your institution, and an H- status cannot be fixed by any dMAT score. Checking first protects your EUR 150 registration fee from being spent on a test that cannot change your outcome.

Match your advanced dMAT module to your Bachelor's degree: chemical or chemistry graduates choose chemistry, EEE or ECE graduates choose electrical engineering, mechanical or production choose mechanical, and CSE or IT graduates choose computer science. Always confirm your final choice with g.a.s.t. before registering.

The subject module covers five engineering disciplines: chemistry, physics, computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Each gets one Basic Task topic, covering redox reactions, electric circuits, data types, the Fourier series and synthetic materials respectively, before Advanced Tasks go deeper into two topics per discipline.

The module tests applied reasoning rather than memorised theory. Because each question sits inside a reading passage that supplies the necessary facts, your job is to apply Bachelor level engineering understanding to new material under time pressure, not to recall formulas by heart from years of undergraduate coursework.
