Will APS India accept a provisional first year transcript instead of the final marksheet for a German bachelor's application deadline?

Yes, APS India accepts a provisional first year transcript if you are currently enrolled in an Indian bachelor's program, but you must submit individual semester marksheets rather than one consolidated transcript, along with an official bonafide certificate and stamped documents from your college's controller of examinations before applying.

Yes, you can move forward with just your first year results. APS India will accept a provisional first year marksheet for your German bachelor's application, as long as you are currently enrolled and submit the right supporting paperwork rather than a single consolidated transcript.

What APS India Actually Requires From You

DocumentRequirement
MarksheetsIndividual semester or year wise, not consolidated
AttestationStamped and signed by controller of examinations
Enrollment proofCurrent bonafide or enrollment certificate from college
FormatClean A4 colour photocopies of front and back

Do Not Forget These Extra Documents

  • Include colour photocopies of your Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets and certificates too.
  • Never send original copies, since APS does not return them to you.
  • Check your target university's deadline policy on Uni-Assist, since some still need the final APS certificate before enrolment.

My Advice

Get your first year marksheets attested and apply for your APS certificate as early as possible instead of waiting for your final year results, since APS processing itself can take months and you do not want it to become the reason you miss your intake.
