Hi,
Your CGPA is good. For Bachelors you must clear IIT-JEE Advanced or complete the first year of an undergraduate course in India, since you cannot apply directly after 12th. German universities require 13 years of education. You must also take TestDaf for German language proficiency and IELTS also. -
Your class 12th percentage must be above 75%. In Germany, universities ask for 13 years of education but in India, we have 12 years of studying experience. So you have three options:
1. Clear IIT-JEE Main and Advanced
2. Spend a year at a university in India
3. Do Studienkolleg
After that, you need to pass TestDaf up to level c2 to prove your knowledge of the German language. The chances depend on your marks. You can apply via university assist.
