Is my Indian university recognised in the Anabin database for Germany?

To confirm your Indian university is accepted in Germany, you need to look it up directly on the Anabin database and check its status code. Most major Indian institutions, including the IITs, NITs, Delhi University and BITS Pilani, already hold the highest recognition status you need.

Anabin Status Codes Explained

Steps to Check Your University

• Open the official Anabin website and click Institutionen on the left-hand menu.
• Click Suchen, then Länderauswahl, and select Indien from the country list.
• Type a keyword from your university's name into the Suchbegriff box, or try your city under Ort if the name search comes up empty.
• Check the Status column next to your listing for the H+, H+/- or H- rating.
• Separately verify your specific degree under Hochschulabschlüsse to confirm it is marked as entspricht or gleichwertig.

My Advice

If you studied at a college affiliated with a larger state university, search using the parent university's name, since small affiliated colleges are rarely listed on their own. If your exact university or degree is missing entirely, do not panic, apply for an individual Statement of Comparability through ZAB well ahead of your application deadlines so it does not delay your admission.
