Which GPA or percentage do I need to get into TU Berlin as an Indian student?
There is no single official cutoff at TU Berlin, and it varies by program. As a planning baseline, around 70 percent or CGPA 7.0 out of 10 is a general threshold, while competitive programmes such as Computer Science typically look for 75 to 85 percent. Check each programme page.
TU Berlin has no single official cutoff, and requirements vary by programme. TU Berlin converts Indian percentages and CGPA to the German scale, where 1.0 is the best and 5.0 is the worst, so the table below is a realistic planning baseline only.
Planning Baseline by Applicant Profile
| Applicant profile | Recommended Indian score | German scale equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| General or safety threshold | 70 percent or more, or CGPA 7.0 out of 10 | 2.5 |
| Competitive programmes (CS, Mechanical Engineering) | 75 to 85 percent, or CGPA 8.0 to 8.5 out of 10 | 1.5 to 2.0 |
| Open-admission (non-NC) programmes | Meets the minimum entry bar, with no ranking | 2.5 to 3.0 |
What Open Admission Means
- Open admission (non-NC) means there is no competitive ranking against other applicants.
- It is not a minimum requirement, and the entry bar still applies.
- Weak profiles can still be rejected.
My Advice
Treat the table as a guide, not a guarantee, and check the entry requirements of your specific programme. If your score is borderline, include open-admission programmes in your shortlist.
