Core and the subject module are scored separately — percentile rank plus a standardised dMAT score from 0–200 with mean 100 — and the total is the sum of the two. The certificate is valid indefinitely. The dMAT result appears on the APS certificate; for affected applicants the APS certificate is only issued after the dMAT certificate is submitted.

A sitting is the Core Module plus exactly one subject module and runs about 3.5 hours including a 30-minute break. It is digital, at licensed test centers; single-choice throughout — and it is sat in English. No note-taking is allowed anywhere in the exam. Unanswered counts as wrong; no penalty for guessing is documented — never leave blanks.

Booking runs through the g.a.s.t. portal, not through APS India, and the fee is €150. The dMAT binds you if your previous degree falls under Engineering, Commerce / Accounting / Finance / Economics, Business / Management and you are filing APS applications for the Summer Semester 2027 intake and all later intakes, and APS will not issue your certificate until your dMAT certificate has been submitted. No second cycle has been announced, so do not plan around one.

Everything else — the full timed Core Module, the General Academic Module and every subject module, other difficulties and set sizes, mock exams, Learn, analytics, weekly leagues and the AI tutor — is CoreForge Pro at ₹299 a month or ₹1,999 a year, auto-renewing until you cancel in one tap. Accounts that were on the trial are now on the Free plan, and anyone who has already paid keeps full access until their current period ends. The demo drill stays open without an account, capped at 10 questions a day. CoreForge is unofficial practice material and is not affiliated with g.a.s.t., the TestDaF-Institut, APS India or the DAAD.

The dMAT is always the Core Module plus exactly one subject module, so sit the one your target programme asks for — the module pages name the programme and, where an institution is published, the university (RWTH Aachen University and Georg-August-Universität Göttingen). Where no official preparatory material exists — currently Data Science — the format here is a documented reconstruction and the app labels it modeled rather than official.

Every passage keeps the official shape: a reading passage followed by single-choice questions — exactly 4 options, exactly 1 correct. Every question goes through the same validator the app runs on AI-generated content: exactly four options with one correct, no duplicated options, and explanations that cite what an option says instead of its letter.

Applicants whose previous degree falls under Engineering, Commerce / Accounting / Finance / Economics, Business / Management are covered; Bachelor's applicants, PhD applicants, officially confirmed exchange, partnership, or double-degree programme participants are not. The published exemptions are all anchored to this same date: APS online registration completed before 29 June 2026; complete APS documents shipped before 29 June 2026; an APS certificate already held. The dMAT result appears on the APS certificate; for affected applicants the APS certificate is only issued after the dMAT certificate is submitted. A low score does NOT automatically deny the APS certificate — universities decide how to use the score in admissions.
