Who has to sit it
APS India states that the dMAT applies to Master's applicants from India whose previous degree is in Engineering, Commerce, Accounting, Finance or Economics, or Business and Management, for the summer semester 2027 intake and later. Exemptions are listed for applicants who completed APS online registration before 29 June 2026 or shipped their complete APS documents before that date, and for confirmed exchange, double-degree and university partnership programmes.
If you missed the September sitting
No further test date had been announced when this page was checked. Use the waiting time properly: learn the Core task rules now, because they do not change, and get your university shortlist and documents ready so that the certificate is the only thing you are waiting for. We update this page when an official date appears.
Planning around the certificate
Certificates are published on 12 October 2026. Many German universities have application deadlines for the summer semester between December and January, so plan your shortlist and documents during October rather than starting after the certificate arrives.
