Will it be too late to take the decision for masters since I have not attended IELTS or TOEFL yet in Germany?

No, it’s not too late to pursue your master’s in Germany for the Summer Semester (April 2027) even if you haven’t taken IELTS or TOEFL yet.
Application deadlines for this intake are typically between December 2026 and January 2027. Most universities require proof of English language proficiency, usually through IELTS (overall 6.0 - 6.5) or TOEFL iBT (80 - 92), but you still have several months to prepare and take the exam.
To stay on track, plan to book your test soon so your scores are ready before the deadlines. If you need help with exam preparation or the application process, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
