Is my IELTS score of overall 6.5 valid for two years and sufficient for my application in Germany for a Master's?

Yes, your IELTS score of 6.5 is valid for two years from your test date (until 11 Apr 2028) and generally meets the minimum requirement for master's programs in Germany.
Most German universities require an overall IELTS score of at least 6.5. Your individual scores - Listening 6.5, Reading 6.0, Writing 7.0, Speaking 6.0 - are also above typical minimum band requirements.
Some universities may have specific minimums for each section, so check the criteria for your chosen programs.
If you need help confirming university-specific requirements, your LeapScholar counsellor can assist.
