Frequently asked questions
Who must take the dMAT for APS India?
As of 1 July 2026, the dMAT applies to Indian APS applicants applying for a Master's from Summer Semester 2027 onward when their previous degree is in Engineering, Commerce or Accounting or Finance or Economics, or Business or Management.
Is the dMAT a pass or fail test?
No. APS India says the dMAT is not a stand-alone pass or fail test for the APS certificate. But if you are affected, your APS documentation is incomplete without the dMAT certificate.
How much does the dMAT cost?
The published India dMAT fee is EUR 150, paid to g.a.s.t. during registration. This is separate from the normal APS fee and separate from any MS in Germany service fee.
What is the deadline for the first India dMAT sitting?
The first published India dMAT sitting is on 26 September 2026. Registration opened on 29 June 2026 and closes on 15 September 2026. Results are scheduled for 12 October 2026.
Do standalone Computer Science, BCA, IT, Data Science, or AI degrees count?
Not automatically. The official affected-fields list distinguishes standalone CS, BCA, IT, Data Science, AI, AI and ML, and Cyber Security from Engineering titles. Computer Science and Engineering is affected, but standalone Computer Science usually is not.
What if my degree title is mixed or interdisciplinary?
Mixed titles such as Engineering Management, Industrial Engineering and Management, Business Analytics, or sector-specific Management need case-by-case classification against the official affected-fields list. Do not guess from the everyday course name.
