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.
