Critical video for all students going to Germany.
In order to accelerate student admission and visa processing, the German Embassy introduced the Academic Evaluation Centre (APS), attached to the Science Section of this Embassy. From November 1st onwards, APS certificates will be a mandatory part of the documents to be submitted with your visa application. This means: Applicants need an APS certificate before filing a visa application. APS will be open for applications beginning October 1st, 2022. For more detailed information, please consult www.aps-india.de.
We will open new appointment slots for student visa applications through VFS Global. These slots are valid for applications to be submitted starting November 1st, 2022.
So, in short: Apply for APS certificate starting October 1st  Book your appointment via VFS after obtaining the APS-certificate Appointments starting November 1st.
As there still is a number of entries on the appointment waitlist for winter semester 2022, please note that - unfortunately - it is not possible for the Embassy / Consulates to verify who is in possession of a still valid admission from a German university. Therefore, all students are kindly requested to register for an appointment only if you have obtained all mandatory documents.

Hello Nikhil, I have a query regarding my state of the application and am a bit unclear on when to apply for APS certification. So I'm currently a student who has completed his 6 of 8 semesters in Engineering and I'm planning for pursuing my master's in Germany in Sep/Oct intake 2023. I'd be having my transcripts from just 7 semesters by June 2023 and would have completed my Degree. But I'd rather not have my provisional certificate in hand, nor my whole 8 Semester transcripts. So would those 7 semesters' transcripts be enough to apply for APS certification? And would I be needed to apply for my 8th-semester transcript and Degree completion certificate separately after I receive them in Nov/Dec 2023 if my 7 semester grade sheets are enough to proceed with applying for APS and Visa?

[@jhanikhil19]

So would those 7 semesters' transcripts be enough to apply for APS certification? A. YES you will be able to apply for APS with those things since there are various levels with which you can apply for it. And would I be needed to apply for my 8th-semester transcript and Degree completion certificate separately after I receive them in Nov/Dec 2023 if my 7 semester grade sheets are enough to proceed with applying for APS and Visa? A. They have told that - you can get it updated once you get further certificates. My suggestion - Make a list of universities and their respective courses that you want to apply. Check their requirements - If APS is needed --- take APS before your final degree and marksheets. If APS is NOT needed --- apply for your universities, get admission and meanwhile apply for APS after getting your provisional and degree certificates. After passing your final graduation exam - You will be given marksheets + provisional at a faster speed because the universities are aware of the requirements of kids who want to go for further education. Glad to hear you are preparing it this early and all the best.

[@jhanikhil19]

UPDATE 10 OCT 2022: aps-india.de/news/ Useful link for updated news from APS. 1.) Registrations made prior to October 1st 2022: We have started restoring accounts of applicants who managed to get themselves registered during a small window of opportunity when we were testing the application process on Sept. 28-30th. The process to get the data repaired unfortunately requires us to delete several individual database entries. If we haven’t identified you by now, please send an email to our “[e-mail]” address with the title “Pre-October registration”. This will help us identify you faster. 2.) Submission number: Please note that your submission number is no indicator for the speed with which your verification will get processed. The submission number merely acts as an internal number that will help us trace your applications and messages to us. The speed with which your documents will get verified depends to a large degree on the willingness of your schools and universities to cooperate with us. 3.) Emails: We are currently receiving somewhere between 500 to 1000 emails per day. Most of the questions asked in these mails have been answered on our website in the FAQ and News sections already. Please make sure that you have you have familiarized yourself with our website before posing questions. We understand that you are anxious to get your documents verified as quickly as possible, however, sending 15 emails in a row, asking about your verification status right after having received your payment confirmation will only take away precious time we would rather dedicate to people who really need our immediate assistance. 4.) Submission form: The purpose of the submission form is to help us get your data into a digital format. In case you forgot to mention anything on your submission form (e.g. banking information), or you made a mistake (e.g. accidentally entered the wrong graduation year), or maybe you just wanted to leave a message explaining your application - please feel free to include notes to your application before you send it off to us. Should you have already sent us your hard copy documents, an email will also help us great deal. We will do our best to amend the information according the information you provided.

Hey Nikhil, Thanks for the amazing video, i had doubt regarding students with 10th + diploma + bachelor degree, as in the form 12th marks are mandatory, so what to input there if we don't have HSC marks Thanks

[@jhanikhil19]

Put your 10th marks again in the place for 12th marks again. Add all your details very properly. Before sending the documents add a note as well. Hope it helps.

By pen is better

[@anuragsharma9881]

Thank you for the video! Maybe you can help me with something: I graduated like 4 years ago and don't have all of my semester marksheets with me anymore. So do you think they'll accept the transcripts of my bachelors instead of the marksheets?

[@jhanikhil19]

Transcripts will help a lot. But, I still suggest you to try some hard-work at your university to take out your marksheets. Reason behind, in VISA they can reject anytime.

[@anuragsharma9881]

@@jhanikhil19 Thanks brother. I really tried, but the college wouldn't. I don't really care about the visa though, just the APS certificate. I'm already living in Germany because my wife is German. But even the universities here ask for APS if you graduated in India at all. Do you think the APS people will care that much about the marksheets?

Hey Nikhil, So I am in my S7 now, got my results up till S5. I am planning for some universities in Germany for Masters in winter intake(oct 2023)(I will passout in june 2023). These universities requires APS. So is it okay if I apply for APS right now, considering its delay, as application for the universities begin in December 2022 itself? Is IELTS mandatory while submitting APS? In the universities that has asked for direct as well as Uni assist application, will I be required to send each APS certificate to each university and uni assist? Or just one to uniassist is enough? Hoping for a reply. Good video btw. 😊

[@jhanikhil19]

Hey Fahim, 1. If universities need APS - then go get it asap. But, keep in mind you have to update it as when you get future results. 2. IELTS is not mandatory while submitting for APS 3. For uni-assist only single certificate is enough. If your university asks for APS in particular then you might need to send original as well. Still, I suggest getting clarification from the university again. Thanks for the appreciation. I am creating course ahead for future students as well. Wish you good luck !

Hi Nikhil, Great! You seem to have a lot of information regarding the APS certificate application.

Thanks for any input regarding this.
