dMAT 2027 Registration Begins on October 28, 2026: Last Date & How to Apply

Candidates should complete the registration before the last date to avoid missing their preferred exam slot. Based on the latest official schedule, the following dates are important for students planning to appear for the upcoming dMAT exam.

Note: Candidates applying for Germany Summer Intake 2027 should regularly check the official dMAT portal, as the registration schedule may be updated.

The dMAT exam is intended for students applying to selected master's programmes offered by participating German universities. As more universities adopt the test, applicants should carefully check the admission requirements before submitting their applications. Students should register for the dMAT if they are:

• Applying for selected master's programmes in Germany.
• Planning admission for the Summer 2027 intake or later.
• Applying to programmes that require the dMAT score as part of the admission process.
• Required to submit a dMAT score during the APS Certificate process, where applicable.

Students are advised to verify the admission requirements on their chosen university's website before registering for the exam.

Registering for the dMAT is done fully online through the official test portal, and the process includes creating an account, choosing a test centre and slot, uploading identity documents, and paying the exam fee. The steps below walk through the full registration process with screenshots, so students know exactly what to expect on each page before they begin.

Step 1: Access the Portal

Search for the "Digitaler Master Test" registration portal on Google and open the official website from the search results. The site loads in German by default, so students can use the browser's built-in translation option to switch the page to English before continuing. 

Step 2: Begin Registration

On the homepage, click "Registration" from the top menu. This opens a short section explaining the process, where students then click the arrow button to start the registration for the exam. The official application portal for dMAT registration in India is www.gast.de/portal/center-search/center-search/dmat/exams/worldwide

Note: It is a good idea to save the confirmation email and take a screenshot of the final booking page, since these are often needed later for admission or visa purposes.

Before beginning the online application, candidates should keep all the required documents ready. Having these documents prepared in advance helps complete the registration smoothly without interruptions. The following documents and information are required during dMAT Registration 2027:

• Valid passport or Identity Card
• Recent passport-size photograph
• Active email address
• Mobile number
• Date of birth details
• Residential address
• Nationality details
• Preferred test centre
• Valid debit card, credit card, PayPal, or other supported payment method

Important: Candidates must enter their passport or identity document details exactly as mentioned on the official document. Incorrect information may lead to identity verification issues on the dMAT exam day.

Candidates must pay the registration fee to complete the dMAT Registration process. The application is considered successful only after the payment is processed. Students should keep a copy of the payment confirmation for future reference during the admission process.

Once the payment is completed successfully, candidates receive confirmation of their exam booking through their registered email address.

dMAT deregistration means cancelling your dMAT exam registration. Candidates can deregister only until the end of the registration period through the dMAT participant portal. After submitting the request, g.a.s.t. informs the selected dMAT test centre.

If the exam fee was paid online, the amount is refunded after deducting an administrative fee of up to 15%. If the fee was paid at the test centre, the test centre processes the refund after receiving official notification from g.a.s.t. If you deregister after the deadline, do not appear for the exam, or discontinue the exam, the fee is not refunded and no dMAT certificate is issued.
