The bachelor's percentage requirement for public universities in Germany is not fixed at 75% or 80%. Requirements vary by university and program.

- Typical minimum: 65 - 75% (or equivalent GPA) for most master's programs
- Top universities: May require 75 - 80%, especially for competitive courses
- Universities of Applied Sciences: Often accept 65 - 70%

75% is a common benchmark, but not a strict rule. Other factors like your relevant coursework, work experience, and language proficiency also matter.
