To get an APS certificate is important for Indian students and it's processing can take 3 to 4 weeks. This processing time can even take longer during the peak seasons (it can be extended to 8 to12 weeks also).
To have a smooth application process, Indian students should try to apply for their APS at least 4 to 6 months before the TUM application deadline.
For example, ideally, this process should start in December or January for the Winter semester.
This process can be difficult when done yourself, which is why Shiksha Toppers Counselling is available to students to sign up for.

To start, Indian applicants will be required to list their UG modules, credits and grades in a Curricular Analysis form, which is available in the TUMonline portal.
