One test, two scored modules — a common core plus a module tailored to your discipline.
Tailored to your bachelor's discipline.
The dMAT rewards reasoning, not recall. Prepare accordingly.
Scores run roughly 0–200 with a mean near 100 — higher indicates stronger aptitude relative to peers.

A strong dMAT score matters — but it is one factor among several. Compliance is mandatory for targeted fields; a high score alone does not guarantee admission.
Bottom line: For Indian students applying to targeted Master's programs for Summer 2027 onward, the dMAT is a mandatory, €150 computer-based aptitude assessment to be completed before submitting your APS verification.
The questions we get asked most, answered from the official g.a.s.t. roadmap. Still unsure about your case? The first coaching session covers it.
The dMAT (Digital Master Assessment Test) is a computer-based aptitude test by g.a.s.t., the German body behind TestDaF and TestAS. It is evaluated centrally at the TestDaF Institute in Bochum and is becoming part of the APS India verification process for selected Master's applicants to Germany. Your dMAT result is reflected on your APS certificate.
Indian students applying to German Master's programmes for Summer Semester 2027 or later, if their bachelor's degree falls in Engineering, Commerce / Accounting / Finance / Economics, or Business / Management. Applicants who completed APS registration or shipped complete APS documents before 29 June 2026, already hold an APS certificate, or come through official exchange and double-degree programmes are exempt.
No. APS India has not announced any GRE or GMAT substitution. The only published exemptions relate to APS applications completed before 29 June 2026, existing APS certificates, and official exchange or partnership programmes.
Two parts of 90 minutes each with a 30-minute break, all in English. The Core Module has three subtests: Figure Sequences (20 tasks, 25 minutes), Mathematical Equations (20 systems, 25 minutes) and Latin Squares (16 tasks, 20 minutes). The Subject Module presents a typical problem from your field group followed by single-choice questions. No notes or rough paper are allowed anywhere in the exam.
€150, paid online during registration on the official dMAT portal. The fee covers the full test — both the Core Academic and Subject modules — and your official dMAT certificate.
At an authorised test centre booked during registration — it cannot be taken from home. Centres are listed across Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Chennai, Coimbatore, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi, Pune and Mananthavady, though not every venue is offering appointments yet. See the test centre list above for addresses and current status.
Your Core Score and Subject Score combine into a total on a roughly 0–200 scale with a mean near 100. No negative marking has been announced, so the official guidance is to never leave a blank — attempt every question, and guess when you must. The certificate has lifetime validity and does not expire once issued.
For the inaugural 2026 cycle, registration opens 29 June 2026 and closes 15 September 2026, the exam is on 26 September 2026, and results are available from 12 October 2026. Dates can change — always confirm on the official portal before planning around them.
There is no syllabus to memorise — the dMAT measures reasoning, so preparation means drilling the task types under time and without notes. Our two-month live coaching covers the four blocks that matter, and the full-length test series lets you rehearse the real computer-based format with instant scoring.
The two-month intensive course is ₹15,000 after a 50% launch discount on the listed fee of ₹30,000. If you want more practice after the two months, you can extend at ₹5,000 per month.
One hour of live teaching daily, 12 to 1 PM IST, on Zoom — you can join from any city in India. The batch covers the full maths and aptitude-reasoning syllabus mapped to the official g.a.s.t. task types, and notes are emailed after every class.
Practise with full-length test series built around the Core Academic and Subject modules — timed, computer-based, and scored just like the real exam.
