How does the Uni-Assist application process work and what does it cost?
Uni-Assist is a central clearing house that verifies your Indian documents and forwards them to universities. You pay EUR 75 for your first application and EUR 30 for each additional one. You still need your APS certificate, transcripts, and English test ready first.
Uni-Assist acts as a central clearing house for many German universities, checking that your Indian transcripts and documents meet the standard before forwarding them to your chosen programs. You upload everything once, and it verifies your grades and eligibility. Not every university uses it, so always confirm on the program page first.

My Advice
Get your APS certificate underway the moment your 7th-semester marksheet is ready, because Uni-Assist cannot process you without it. Budget for the first application at EUR 75 and cluster your remaining choices at EUR 30 each, then submit well before the 15 July winter deadline to avoid the peak rush.
