Germany is one of the most competitive MBBS destinations in Europe. Unlike Russia or Kazakhstan, where NEET qualification is enough, German universities demand very high academic performance and German language proficiency.

Here’s a detailed explanation of the cutoff and eligibility requirements for MBBS in Germany.

📌 NEET Cutoff for Indian Students

As per NMC guidelines, Indian students must qualify NEET to study MBBS abroad.

👉 Only NEET qualification is needed for NMC approval, but higher NEET scores increase chances of admission in top universities and scholarships.

📌 Academic Cutoff (12th Board)

German universities have stricter requirements compared to other countries:

• General Category: Minimum 70–80% in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology).
• SC/ST/OBC: Minimum 60–65% in PCB.
• Strong performance in Mathematics & English is preferred.
• Gap years are discouraged – fresh pass-outs have higher acceptance.

📌 German Language Cutoff

Since MBBS is taught fully in German, students must clear language proficiency exams:

• B2 or C1 Level German (Goethe-Institut / TestDaF / DSH accepted).
• Some universities conduct their own language test during admission.

📌 University-Specific Cutoff Trends

1. Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU Munich)

📌 Entrance Exam Cutoff

International students must clear Feststellungsprüfung (FSP) – a university entrance exam in Germany after completing a Studienkolleg (foundation course).

• Minimum 50–60% in FSP required for admission into MBBS.
• Some universities may ask for TestAS (aptitude test for foreign students) scores.

📌 Age Cutoff

• Minimum: 17 years (as of 31st December of admission year).
• No strict upper age limit, but younger candidates are preferred.
