Advice from Senior Destination Manager, Chandra Prakash Jha (7+ years of experience in the study abroad industry) at Shiksha -

The one thing Indian students have a hard time understanding is the APS Certificate requirement for Hamburg admissions, not the academics. It is the document verification process via the German missions in India, and it takes time, a lot of it. Students applying for it the same month as the TUHH application deadlines are too late. I always advise students to start the University of Hamburg application at least 8 months before the July or January deadlines at this university. Now, Indain students also need to plan for a dMAT test to get their APS.

Sounds complicated? It is. This is where expert Shiksha Study counsellors can help. If your academics are top-notch but the TUHH application process seems complicated, connect for a counselling session now: Shiksha Toppers' Services.
