No, a separate certificate for credit transfer of Indian education marks is not compulsory for the German student visa process.

You must provide your original academic transcripts and degree certificates. In addition, all Indian students must obtain an APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) certificate, which verifies the authenticity of your academic documents - this is mandatory for the German student visa.

Focus on submitting authenticated academic documents, APS certificate, proof of admission, financial proof, and other standard paperwork. If you need help with documentation, your Leap counsellor can guide you through the process.
