Hello All,

I’m a student from India and belong to the APS category under Bangalore mission. After apparently 26 days, I received official communication from CSP portal to submit my application today. I had initially applied on 24th July and got into the waiting list.

Today - 19th August around 1pm IST received the email. Now my application status shows - ‘in preliminary review’. I heard that people who joined waiting list around July 22nd to 28th - Bangalore mission were apparently removed out of waiting list today.

Hoping y’all (ones who joined waiting list btw 22nd-28th July) were able to submit your applications today.

Thought of sharing, hope it helps!!

Hello All,

I’m a student from India and have received admission offer from Saarland University for masters in sustainable materials and engineering winter 2026. I’m glad to connect with fellow students from the same programme. Do reply to this post. Looking forward for meaningful connections.

Also, wanted to check whether Saarland University issues English language confirmation certificates for students particularly for Visa purposes. Has anyone got any official confirmation/certificate from the university stating that the university is satisfied with the student’s english language abilities for the respective programme. Has anyone from any masters field happened to receive any official document like this before from Saarland university to facilitate visa process? Any leads or information on this is appreciated.

Context - I have received official confirmation from German Consulate Bangalore stating that if such an official confirmation/ certificate is issued from my university, that will be accepted as sufficient proof of language requirement and in that case IELTS is not required. My IELTS certificate is within the 2 years validity but has crossed the 1 year validity required for visa.

Looking forward to connect with fellow students enrolled in the same program for this winter 2026. Any information on the certificate issuance is appreciated.

Thank you!
