The DAAD scholarship process for Indian students involves these key steps:

- Identify eligible programs on the DAAD scholarship database and check their requirements.
- Apply to German universities offering your chosen course (for Master's) or contact professors for supervision (for PhD/research).
- Prepare documents like transcripts, a motivation letter, and recommendation letters.
- Complete the online DAAD application and upload all required documents before the deadline.
- Submit physical copies to the DAAD Regional Office in New Delhi if required (some programs need this).

Selection results are announced after review, which can take several months. For personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
