Profile Assessment: Your Roadmap to Germany
A Profile Assessment is the first and most critical step for any Pakistani student planning to study in Germany. This is where we demonstrate our expertise by showing you exactly what German universities look for and how Ilm Abroad helps you meet those high standards.
What We Evaluate
Our comprehensive assessment covers the four pillars of a successful German study application:
1Academic Eligibility (The HZB Check)
We determine if your Pakistani certificates grant you a Hochschulzugangsberechtigung (HZB)—the "University Entrance Qualification" required in Germany.
- For Bachelor's Applicants: We analyze your HSSC (FA/FSc/ICS) or A-Levels to see if you qualify for direct entry or must attend a Studienkolleg.
- For Master's Applicants: We verify if your 16 years of education (BS/Honors/MSc) are equivalent to a German Bachelor's degree through the Anabin database.
2Grade Conversion (The "German Scale")
German universities use a 1.0 to 4.0 grading system where 1.0 is the best. We convert your Pakistani percentage or CGPA using the Modified Bavarian Formula.
- Conversion using Modified Bavarian Formula
- Assessment against minimum requirements (usually 2.5 or better on German scale)
- Program-specific grade thresholds
3Language Proficiency Standards
We assess your current language level and recommend the best path forward.
- English Programs: We evaluate your IELTS/TOEFL scores or check if your university qualifies for an English Medium of Instruction (MOI) waiver.
- German Programs: We guide you on reaching the mandatory B1/B2 level for Studienkolleg or C1 (TestDaF/DSH) for direct university entry.
4Technical Suitability & Aptitude
Certain programs require more than just good grades. We check if you need specialized tests.
- TestAS: An aptitude test for international students that can significantly boost your admission chances.
- GMAT/GRE: Often required for top-tier Business and Engineering Master's programs.
- Program-specific entrance exams
