What is the minimum CGPA criteria to be eligible for scholarships in Germany?

There is no single minimum CGPA for scholarships in Germany - it depends on the specific scholarship and university. Most competitive scholarships, like those from DAAD, typically expect a CGPA of around 8.0/10 or higher and look for candidates in the upper third of their class.

Some scholarships may consider applicants with a CGPA as low as 7.5, especially if you have strong work experience, language skills, or other achievements.

Each scholarship has its own criteria, so check requirements carefully for the programs you are interested in. If you need help evaluating your options, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
