Germany Introduces dMAT for Indian Students Applying to Select Master's Programmes
Germany has introduced the digital Master Test (dMAT) starting June 29, 2026, for select Indian applicants to master's programmes in fields like Engineering, Business, Finance, and Economics. This new requirement aims to provide German universities with a standardized measure of academic aptitude amid a growing and diverse applicant pool from India. The dMAT does not replace the APS certificate nor question the credibility of Indian degrees but helps admissions teams compare academic records from varied Indian institutions more consistently.
