Studienkolleg 26/27

Hi everyone,

I’m an Indian student currently in Germany on a language visa.

My APS certificate was issued in September 2025 and it clearly states “Zugang zum Studienkolleg”.

I recently saw the new update about the 70% minimum requirement for Indian students (applying from WS 2026/27).

However, APS replied to my email and confirmed that:

APS certificates issued on or before 14 March 2026 fall under the old (50%) criteria.

So my situation is:

•	APS issued before 15 March 2026

•	Already in Germany

•	Currently learning German (aiming for B2)

•	Planning to apply for Studienkolleg Winter Semester 2026/27 (T-Kurs)

•	Class 12 marks: 62%

My questions:

1.	Will Studienkollegs still consider me eligible under the old criteria since my APS is old?

2.	Has anyone with <70% and an old APS applied successfully for WS 2026/27?

3.	Do Studienkollegs follow APS eligibility strictly, or do they apply the new Anabin rule regardless of APS date?

I am preparing seriously for the entrance exam and just want to understand my eligibility.

Thanks in advance!
