How can Indian students find German public universities still accepting Computer Science Master's applications for the current intake?

Use the DAAD Programme Database to filter open English taught computer science master's courses, then prioritize NC free programs, which often accept applications into August or September, and universities with direct application portals, which skip the slower uni assist processing step entirely.

You can still find open computer science master's seats in Germany even after the usual July deadlines have passed. Your best approach is combining the official DAAD database with a focus on programs that either have no admission cap or let you apply directly to the university.

TU BerlinComputer Engineering (M.Sc.)Late August
RWTH AachenComputer Engineering (M.Sc.)Early September
Anhalt UniversityElectrical and Computer Eng.Mid August

How To Search Efficiently

  • Filter the DAAD Programme Database for "Master's", "Computer Science", and "English only"
  • Search specifically for "No Admission Restriction" or NC free programs
  • Prioritize universities offering a "Direct Application" portal over uni assist routing
  • Confirm your APS certificate is ready, since visa slots need it alongside your admission letter

My Advice

Shortlist five to seven NC free or direct application programs today and email each international office to confirm their exact current cutoff. Keep your APS certificate and blocked account funds ready in parallel, so you can book your visa appointment the same week a late offer arrives.
