Frequently Asked Questions
Minimum 3 years preparation: Year 1 — German A1–B2 in India (Goethe-Institut or online); Year 2 — Studienkolleg in Germany (C1 German + academic preparation); Year 3 — apply to medical school. Total program = 3 prep years + 6 medical school years = 9 years from Class 12.
NC (Numerus Clausus) is the grade cut-off for restricted programs. German medical schools have NC 1.0–1.4 (on German 1–4 scale, lower is better). This means essentially perfect academic scores. International students compete in a separate quota — approximately 8–10% of seats.
