Notes on documents

If you have a school leaving certificate from India, you will need to submit the following documents:

• your school leaving certificate, including an overview of subjects and grades (X+II).
• the grading system of your higher secondary school.
• your original APS certificate:
  • Uni assist does not accept copies even if they are officially certified. (For online-only applications an upload is sufficient.)

  • We can verify your digitally signed APS certificate online. Simply upload the original PDF document to your My assist within the application deadline.

If you have studied in India, you will need to submit the following documents:

• official overview of subjects and grades issued by your university.
• your Degree certificate (if you have already completed your studies). The provisional Degree certificate is valid 1 year after your graduation only. After that period, the official Degree certificate must be submitted. If the university has not yet been able to issue your bachelor’s Degree certificate, we require an official document from your university stating the expected date on which the certificate will be issued (date of convocation).
• a grading system with the following information:
  • information on the maximum and minimum grade required for graduation from your university. ►It must be evident what CGPA or percentage is equivalent to "pass class", i.e. what overall grade is required to successfully complete the degree ("minimum for award of degree"). This information is often found in the graduation requirements.
  • The minimum requirement for passing a single course or semester is not sufficient.
• your original APS certificate:
  • Upload the digitally sealed APS certificate as an unmodified original file to your My assist. We can verify it digitally.

  • Older APS certificates issued on paper can be uploaded for online applications only. For universities that require certification, the original APS must be submitted by post. We cannot accept copies, even if they are certified.

Notes on official certification

In India, you may have your documents officially certified by a notary.

Alternatively, you can also have your documents certified by the issuing university. The certification must include the university's seal and a signature by the student administration office, the dean, or the office responsible for examinations.

In all cases, have your documents certified with a stamp in English or German.
