Selection

The application process contains two steps. Please be aware of the two application deadlines.

First step:
Applicants must apply for their studies at SEARCA using the contacts and the method that is prescribed by the institution. SEARCA has set its own deadlines. SEARCA will screen, pre-select (according to DAAD selection criteria) and short-list the applicants. A detailed report consisting of the shortlisting procedure, the entire list of applicants, the ranked shortlist and the shortlisting panel members will also be availed to DAAD. The ranked shortlist will contain preferably triple (at least double) the number of scholarships that have been attributed to the institution. DAAD reserves the right of final selection.

Second step:
SEARCA will provide the shortlisted candidates with the link to the DAADPortal. Only the pre-selected candidates are asked to log into the DAAD portal, register themselves and submit an DAAD application.
