Scored procedure, not a quota: the school-leaving grade, the written online test and, in the second stage, the oral interview are each converted to 0–100 points; the applicant needs 151 of 200 points to pass a stage, and 150 or fewer bring a rejection. No number of places is published.
Admission
What you need to apply
- School certificate
- A general German university entrance qualification, or a foreign school-leaving certificate whose eligibility DIT checks in the DAAD admission database. Applicants whose certificate does not qualify them are directed to one year of study at an internationally recognised university in their home country, or one year at a Studienkolleg in Germany (for Bavarian universities of applied sciences: Coburg).
Source
“If your qualification does not provide you with application eligibility for our university, you have these options: … One year of study at Studienkolleg in Germany (in some cases, the certificate is only valid in the specific federal states) … The Studienkolleg for universities of applied sciences in Bavaria is located in Coburg.”

DIT publishes no rule specific to India, Nigeria or Pakistan; eligibility of those school certificates has to be read from the DAAD admission database, not from DIT.
- Subject requirements
- Mathematics and the basic sciences; the admission test consists of mathematics questions.

“Sufficient knowledge of basic scientific subjects (especially mathematics) is necessary”

Exemption: DIT accepts, as proof of B2 English for this programme, a certificate from the previous educational institution confirming that courses and examinations were held exclusively in English. The one institution-wide exemption is a German university entrance qualification with English as a graduating subject (B2 only); the central application page otherwise rules Medium of Instruction certificates out.

- German
- When applying: A1 must be submitted by 14 March at the latest, i.e. before enrolment. During studies: German courses A2 to B2 are part of semesters 1-3; teaching is in German from semester 4

“English B2 (e.g. certificate from the educational institution that courses and examinations were held exclusively in English)”
www.th-deg.de/emi-b-en · checked 13 November 2026
This programme page names a certificate from the previous educational institution stating that courses and examinations were held exclusively in English as a way of proving the required B2, so applicants from India, Nigeria and Pakistan can use it for this programme. Only three DIT programme pages still do. The central application page says a Medium of Instruction certificate cannot be accepted and the prospective-students FAQ and the campus language-requirement PDFs now list only the German-university-entrance-qualification exemption; the programme page is the more specific source, but DIT has not resolved the contradiction.
- Rules that name these countries
- India: Indian applicants must submit a certificate from the Academic Evaluation Service (APS) of the German Embassy in New Delhi with their application.
Source
“For applicants from the People's Republic of China, India and Vietnam, special admission requirements apply for studying at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology. Accordingly, a certificate of the Academic Evaluation Service (APS) of the German Embassy in Beijing, New Delhi or Hanoi is required.”
www.th-deg.de/en/apply · checked 14 November 2026
The page points Indian applicants to https://aps-india.de. The certificate is due by the end of the application deadline: the prospective-students FAQ says "Your APS certficate and language certificate should be delivered by the end of application deadline." DIT no longer publishes the exception it used to state for applicants who are already in Europe, so none is recorded.
- India: Indian applicants must submit a certificate from the Academic Evaluation Service (APS) of the German Embassy in New Delhi with their application.
The rules for your country across all universities, and the visa rules on English tests, are on the India, Pakistan and Nigeria pages.
