Can I still get a German student visa with my academic history?
Hi everyone,
I’m from India and would really appreciate some honest opinions about my profile before I apply for my German student visa.
My academic background:
Class 10 (CBSE, 2018): 59%
Class 12: Failed in 2020 and again in 2021
Passed Class 12 through NIOS in 2022 with 87%
BCA (2022–2025): 8.1 CGPA
Admitted to Hochschule Furtwangen University for a Master’s program
APS Certificate: Completed
IELTS: Overall 6.5
I know my Class 12 history isn’t ideal, but I worked hard to improve and completed my bachelor’s with a strong CGPA. Since I have an admission offer, APS, and IELTS, I’m wondering if my earlier failures could still negatively affect my German student visa application.
Has anyone here had a similar academic journey or received a visa after overcoming earlier setbacks? Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
