VFS New Delhi asking for Re-Biometrics? What am a I supposed to do?

VFS Global New Delhi asking for re biometrics? Am I suppose to book the appointment again and pay the 75 euro fee again or can I just printout this email and walk-in anytime? How is this even possible, like i paid the fee and all other things, do these people have no concern about student's future? Like I live far away from Delhi, I would need to book the train tickets in 2-3 days advance, all waste of time. I regret all this studying abroad thing.

[Request] Public studienkolleg for me

I am 19yo from India, completed class 12 cbse 2025 (physics, chemistry, maths, english, and computer science) with a score of 76%. Also achieved Goethe's B1 level in April 2026 and will be giving B2 Telc with a high personally attested probability of successfuly passing it.

After passing B1, I got a bit high, got distracted, considered everything as planned, etc. So here I am in august, having successfully missed the September intake for a public studienkolleg and desperately looking for jan 2027 stk T-kurs intake.

So I want you guys to suggest me some public studienkolegs. I am aware of the popular ones such as TU Berlin, Nordhausen, etc. But honestly, I think those have a really low passing rate, and in a case where luck is in odds with me during the Aufnahmeprüfung day or so, so I would like to have multiple options like being enrolled into multiple stks for the aufnahmetest.

Which public stks should I apply for like for someone like me who would have b2 to light c1 german in Jan-Feb 2027, but I don't wanna participate in too competetive aufnahmeprufungen.

Lastly, all the negative/biased people are discouraged from responding.

T-Kurs Private Studienkolleg - "Substantial deposit/first year" interpretation in accordance to contract

Hello! I am 19 years old from India, completed my class 12 CBSE in 2025 with super-medical (76%), subsequently I have achieved Goethe B1 level certificates in April 2026. I applied for a private studienkolleg for T-Kurs which required B1-Niveau. So, documents such as aps, blocked account, insurance, sop/cv in german, etc are ready.

Timeline:

1 Nov - 30 Dec 2026 -> B2 Course -> 500 €
3 Jan - 30 August 2027 -> Studienkolleg T Kurs -> 3500 €
October 2027 -> External FSP

As per my contract with the Studienkolleg that we both have signed, I am supposed to pay 4000€ for the entire course (B2 + T-Kurs) of which I needed to pay half before visa and half after visa has been approved or before the beginning of T-Kurs in order for them to generate Anmeldungsbestätigung for me. So far, I have paid 2000 euro using my wise konto; hence successfully received Anmeldungsbestätigungen.

I am about to book an appointment via CSP Neu-Delhi (not on waitlist anymore). So I wanted to ask, should I pay the full 4.000€ or follow the contractual agreement between me and the studienkolleg which I have also uploaded in "Additional Documents" section with a small note explaining the nature of Zahlungsbestätigung und Ratenzahlungsvereinbarung.

I preferably want to go with the contract as it on my side provides some degree of freedom. I also looked at the german mission requirements in India, they use the phrasing "first year fee or a substantial deposit" in case of private studienkollegs and language courses, so what can be done to avoid rejection?
