Where can you learn German in Bangalore?
Bangalore gives you four different ways to learn German. It helps to know all of them before you look at our course, because each one suits a different student.
1. Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan, Indiranagar
The Goethe-Institut, known in India as Max Mueller Bhavan, is Germany's cultural institute. It teaches German from A1 to C2 and also conducts the Goethe exams. The Bangalore institute is at 716, CMH Road, Indiranagar 1st Stage, and the institute names Indiranagar as its Namma Metro station.
On 2 October 2026 its website listed these group courses. A teaching unit is 45 minutes.
| Course | Pace | Levels | Fee listed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super Intensive weekday, face-to-face | 6 to 7 weeks for each course, 25 teaching units a week | A1, A2, B1 | INR 28,500 |
| Intensive weekday, face-to-face | 11 to 12 weeks for each course, 15 teaching units a week | A1 to C2 | INR 28,500 |
| Intensive weekend, face-to-face | 14 to 15 weeks for each course, 11 to 12 teaching units a week | A1 to C2 | INR 30,500 |
| Online Live courses, all India | 7, 11, 16 or 20 weeks for each course, 160 teaching units | A1 to B2.2 | INR 28,500 |
B2, C1 and C2 are each taught in two parts, and each part is a separate course. Face-to-face groups have at most 24 participants and online groups at most 18. Check the current courses and fees on the Goethe-Institut Bangalore course page and its online course page before you decide. The institute suits you if you want a classroom, more class hours for each level, or a weekend course.
2. University courses
If you are searching for a German language course at Bangalore University, look at Dr. Manmohan Singh Bengaluru City University as well, which was called Bengaluru City University until 2025. Its website lists diploma and certificate courses in global languages. Ask the university which languages are offered this year and when admissions open. If your goal is a visa, an Ausbildung or recognition as a nurse, check first which certificate the German side asks for. In most cases it is a Goethe, telc or ÖSD certificate at a stated level.
3. Classroom institutes across the city
Private institutes teach German in classrooms in several parts of Bangalore. Class hours, batch size and price differ from one institute to the next. The checks further down this page apply to them as they do to us.
4. Live online courses
This is where Yastudy fits. Classes are live, with a trainer and a small batch, and you join from home, so you save the commute across the city. You book the Goethe exam with the Goethe-Institut like everyone else.
Yastudy and the Goethe-Institut, side by side
If you are choosing between these two, compare them point by point. The Goethe-Institut figures are from its Bangalore course page and its India online course page on 2 October 2026. In both columns the weeks are counted with one course straight after the other. In practice each course starts on fixed dates, so the calendar decides the real timeline.
| Point | Goethe-Institut | Yastudy intensive course |
|---|---|---|
| Where | Face-to-face at CMH Road, Indiranagar, and live online | Live online |
| Fastest weekday course | Super Intensive: 6 to 7 weeks for each course, 25 teaching units a week, which is about 19 hours. Face-to-face in Bangalore for A1, A2 and B1, and online up to B2.2. | 3 hours a day, which is 15 hours a week |
| A1 to B1 | Three courses: 18 to 21 weeks in Super Intensive, or 33 to 36 weeks in Intensive weekday | About 13 weeks |
| A1 to B2 | Five courses, because B2 has two parts: 35 weeks with the online Superintensive, 40 to 45 weeks at the fastest in the Bangalore classroom, or 55 to 60 weeks in Intensive weekday | About 21 weeks |
| Class time | About 113 to 135 hours for each course | A1 40, A2 50, B1 100 and B2 120 hours, plus about 2 hours of your own practice a day |
| Group size | At most 24 face-to-face, at most 18 online | 10 to 12 at most |
| Fee to B1 | ₹85,500 (three weekday courses at INR 28,500) | ₹29,500 with the A1 to B1 combo |
| Fee to B2 | ₹1,42,500 (five weekday courses at INR 28,500) | ₹39,500 with the A1 to B2 combo |
| Fee for each class hour | About ₹211 to ₹253 | ₹127 with the A1 to B2 combo, ₹155 with A1 to B1, and ₹200 to ₹350 for a single level |
| Weekend option | Yes, at INR 30,500 for each course | No. Classes run Monday to Friday. |
| Exam | The Goethe exam, run by the same institute | Preparation for the Goethe and telc exams. You book the exam with the Goethe-Institut. |
Read the table honestly. The Goethe-Institut gives you more hours in class for each level, a classroom, and weekend courses. Its Super Intensive course is as intensive as ours, with more class hours and a larger group. Our course is shorter and costs less in total because each level has fewer class hours and you are expected to do about two hours of your own practice every weekday. A single A1 or A2 level with us costs more for each class hour than a Goethe-Institut course, and the combos cost less. If you need B1 or B2 within months and can give German five hours a day, our course is built for that. If you want more class hours, a classroom or a weekend course, the Goethe-Institut will serve you better.
How Yastudy German classes work for students in Bangalore
You join a live class from home, and a trainer teaches the batch in real time. You are asked questions, you speak German, and you are corrected. It is a class, not a set of recorded videos.
- Three hours of live class a day, Monday to Friday, and about two more hours of homework and practice.
- 10 to 12 students in a batch at most, with speaking practice in every class.
- Every class is recorded, so a missed class or a dropped connection does not leave a gap.
- Doubts on WhatsApp between classes.
- A mock test every week, so that you know the exam pattern before exam day.
- Yastudy's own course material. At A1 this is a Kursbuch (course book) with 12 lessons and an Arbeitsbuch (workbook), with an exam task in every lesson.
The batch is the same for every city, so a student in Whitefield, a student in Jayanagar and a student in Patna sit in the same class. The full course is on the main German language course page.
Your trainer
Raj studied at TU Munich in a German-taught program. He teaches the German you will actually need in Germany, and he knows what the route from India to Germany looks like.
What a weekday looks like
| Part of the day | Time | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Live class | 3 hours | New material with your trainer, then speaking practice in a small group |
| Your own practice | About 2 hours | Homework, new words, and the recording if you need to revise |
| Every week | One mock test | You see where you stand before the exam |
That is about 5 hours of German on every weekday. The pace only works if you attend every class and practise daily. If you can study only at the weekend, this course will not suit you.
What you need at home
- A laptop, tablet or phone with a camera and a microphone. A laptop is more comfortable for three hours.
- Earphones or a headset for the listening exercises.
- A steady internet connection, with mobile data as a backup.
- A quiet place for three hours, and a notebook. The paper-based exam is written by hand, so practise writing by hand as well.
See a class before you decide. We send a 15-minute recorded class on WhatsApp, with no payment needed. Or join a live class on Zoom for ₹199.
Send me the classWhich German level do you need?
Your goal decides the level. These are the usual requirements, and the week by which this course reaches each one.
| Your goal | German level needed | With this course | What to enrol in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spouse visa (family reunion) | A1 for most applicants, shown with a Goethe, telc or ÖSD certificate | A1 by week 3 | German A1 course |
| Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) | On the points route, German A1 or English B2 at minimum. German A2 adds 1 point, B1 adds 2 and B2 adds 3. | A1 by week 3, B2 by week 21 | A1, or a combo for the extra points |
| Ausbildung (vocational training) | B1, normally | B1 by week 13 | A1 to B1 combo |
| Nurses | B2 for the recognition of your qualification | B2 by week 21 | A1 to B2 combo |
| Studienkolleg (route to a bachelor's degree) | B1 to B2 to sit the entrance test | B1 by week 13, B2 by week 21 | A1 to B2 combo |
| Doctors (Approbation) | B2, then the C1 medical language exam | B2 by week 21. C1 medical German comes after this program. | A1 to B2 combo |
| German-taught degree | DSH-2 or TestDaF 4, about C1 | B2 by week 21. C1 comes after this program. | A1 to B2 combo |
Some employers, schools and German states ask for more, and rules change, so check the official page for your case. The level table on the main German page names the official sources for the visa and recognition rows.
Working in tech in Bangalore
Two routes matter most for engineers and other graduates. On the points route of the Opportunity Card you need German A1 or English B2 at minimum, and German A2, B1 and B2 then add 1, 2 and 3 points. Graduates whose degree is fully recognised in Germany do not need the points. If you move on an EU Blue Card, German still pays off later: Make it in Germany states that Blue Card holders can get a settlement permit after 21 months with B1 German, instead of 27 months with A1. Be honest about time, though. This course needs about 5 hours on every weekday, which is very hard to keep up beside a full-time job. Read the Opportunity Card guide first.
Nurses
The recognition of a nursing qualification in Germany asks for German at B2. Plan the full A1 to B2 route, about 21 weeks of class, and take the B2 exam at the end. The German B2 course page explains what B2 involves.
College students
If you plan a degree in Germany, the level depends on the language of the program. Many master's programs are taught in English. For a bachelor's degree, many students with an Indian Class 12 or PUC certificate go through a Studienkolleg first, and its entrance test needs B1 to B2. Read Bachelor's in Germany from India.
If you already know some German
You do not have to start from A1. If you have finished A1 elsewhere, join the A2 batch: the A2 to B1 combo is ₹23,500 and A2 to B2 is ₹33,500. Not sure of your level? Message us on WhatsApp and we will check it with you.
German levels A1 to B2: what you learn
The levels follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which the Goethe and telc exams also use.
| Level | What you can do at the end | Live class | Time | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| German A1 course | Introduce yourself, ask and answer simple questions, and manage everyday needs such as ordering food or asking the way | 40 hours | About 3 weeks | ₹14,000 |
| German A2 course | Talk about your routine, your background, shopping and work in simple connected sentences, and write short messages and emails | 50 hours | About 3½ weeks | ₹16,000 |
| German B1 course | Handle most situations in daily life and at work, describe experiences and plans, and give reasons for your opinions | 100 hours | About 7 weeks | ₹20,000 |
| German B2 course | Follow complex texts and discussions, speak fluently with native speakers, and write clear, detailed texts | 120 hours | 8 weeks | ₹24,000 |
What the 21 weeks cover
| Weeks | Level | What you cover |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 | A1 | Twelve lessons, from greetings and introducing yourself to travel and holidays. Grammar includes W-questions, the accusative, modal verbs and the perfect tense. |
| 4 to 6 | A2 | Your background and education, home, shopping, work, travel and health. Grammar includes the dative, reflexive verbs, comparisons, and clauses with weil, dass and wenn. |
| 7 to 13 | B1 | Work, training and applications, study, media, and giving your opinion. Grammar includes the simple past, the passive, relative clauses, the genitive and Konjunktiv II. |
| 14 to 21 | B2 | Current social issues, professional messages, presentations and discussions. Grammar includes the passive in all tenses, indirect speech, participle constructions and linking words for formal writing. |
The week numbers are rounded. Each level page has the full syllabus and the exam pattern. If A1 is your first exam, the Goethe A1 exam guide shows a sample task for every part of the paper.

Course and exam together
In Bangalore you have no travel to add, because the exam centre is in the city. This table adds the course fee and one Goethe exam at the level your goal asks for.
| Goal | Course | Course fee | Goethe exam fee | Course and exam |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spouse visa, A1 | German A1 | ₹14,000 | ₹9,400 (A1) | ₹23,400 |
| Ausbildung, B1 | A1 to B1 combo | ₹29,500 | ₹18,800 (B1) | ₹48,300 |
| Nursing or Studienkolleg, B2 | A1 to B2 combo | ₹39,500 | ₹21,200 (B2) | ₹60,700 |
The Goethe-Institut does not ask for a certificate at a lower level before you sit a higher exam, so you choose which exams to take. The exam fees are the ones the Goethe-Institut India listed on 2 October 2026, including GST, and they can change.
Comparing fees in Bangalore
Institutes may quote German fees for a level, for a month or for a package. To compare them, ask each one for the number of class hours and divide the fee by it, as in the first table above. Then look at the batch size, whether classes are recorded, and what happens if you don't clear the exam.
The ₹199 live class
You pay ₹199 to confirm your seat and join a live class on Zoom, about 30 minutes plus questions and answers. You speak German and get corrected. If you enrol within 7 days of the class, the ₹199 comes off your fee. Otherwise it is not refunded.
German batch timings
Every level has its own batch, and a combo starts with the batch of its first level. All batches run Monday to Friday, 3 hours a day.
| Batch | Length | Starts | Timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| German A1 | 40 hours, about 3 weeks | Ask us on WhatsApp for the next batch | |
| German A2 | 50 hours, about 3½ weeks | Ask us on WhatsApp for the next batch | |
| German B1 | 100 hours, about 7 weeks | Ask us on WhatsApp for the next batch | |
| German B2 | 120 hours, 8 weeks | Ask us on WhatsApp for the next batch |
If the timing clashes with your college or your office hours, tell us on WhatsApp before you enrol. The live demo class timings are on the batch section of the main German page.
How to enrol
- Tell us your goal on WhatsApp or by phone. We tell you the level you need and how long it takes.
- See a class. Ask for the 15-minute recorded class, or join a live class on Zoom for ₹199.
- Choose one level or a combo. If your goal needs B1 or B2, a combo costs much less than paying level by level.
- Pay online in the fees section of the main German page.
- Join your batch online on the start date.
Goethe exam in Bangalore: where and how
Students in Bangalore have one clear advantage: the exam centre is in their own city. On 2 October 2026 the Goethe-Institut India listed A1 exam dates for Bangalore.
Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore
716, CMH Road, Indiranagar 1st Stage
Bangalore 560038
Namma Metro: Indiranagar station, as named by the institute. Take the venue for your own exam from the details the institute sends you after you register.
Contact, opening hours and directions on the institute's website
Booking the exam
- Book on the Goethe-Institut India website. You choose the level, the place and a date, sign in to your Mein Goethe.de account and pay online.
- Enter your name exactly as in your passport. The certificate is issued from these details.
- Read the message the institute sends you after you register. It tells you what is required on the day of the exam. At A1 and A2 the rules allow the speaking exam to be held on a different day, up to 14 days from the written exam.
- Carry your passport, in the original. The Goethe-Institut India accepts only a valid passport as ID for its language exams.
- Book only on the Goethe-Institut's own website. The institute warns against fraudulent offers that promise access to exams or certificates.
On exam day
Reach the venue in good time. Mobile phones, smartwatches, dictionaries and notes are not allowed in the exam room. You get your result in your Mein Goethe.de account, and the certificate is downloaded from the same account.
Exam pattern, pass mark and fee at each level
| Goethe exam | Listening, reading, writing | Speaking | To pass | Fee in India, including GST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1 (Start Deutsch 1) | 20 + 25 + 20 minutes | 15 minutes, in a group | 60 of 100 points | ₹9,400 |
| A2 | 30 + 30 + 30 minutes | 15 minutes, in pairs | 60 of 100 points, with at least 45 in the written parts and 15 in speaking | ₹10,600 |
| B1 | 40 + 65 + 60 minutes | 15 minutes, in pairs | 60% in each module | ₹18,800 for all four modules, or ₹4,700 for one module |
| B2 | 40 + 65 + 75 minutes | 15 minutes, in pairs | 60% in each module | ₹21,200 for all four modules, or ₹5,300 for one module |
These are the fees listed by the Goethe-Institut India on 2 October 2026. Check the current fees and dates on the Goethe-Institut India exam pages before you book.
Which exams to take
You do not have to sit an exam after every level. The Goethe-Institut does not ask for a lower certificate before a higher exam. Take the exam your goal asks for: A1 for a spouse visa, B1 for Ausbildung, B2 for nursing. At B1 and B2 the exam has four modules, which you can take together or one at a time.
telc and ÖSD exams
telc and ÖSD are separate exam providers with their own licensed centres. The German Missions in India accept their A1 certificates for a spouse visa, along with the Goethe certificate. If you plan to take one of them, find a licensed centre and a date on the provider's own website first.
For the A1 paper in detail, with sample tasks, marks and preparation, read the Goethe A1 exam guide.
After the certificate: visa and APS from Bangalore
The German certificate is one document in a longer file. For residents of Karnataka, the visa side is handled in Bangalore.
The German Consulate General in Bengaluru
The German Consulate General is on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Cash Pharmacy Building, at the corner of St. Mark's Road and Residency Road, Bengaluru 560025. The German Missions state that it is responsible for visa applications from residents of Karnataka and Kerala. They also state that most national visas can be applied for online through the Consular Service Portal, and that the others need an appointment through the service provider VFS. Start from the visa pages of the German Missions in India.
A note for spouse visa applicants. Not every spouse needs a German certificate. The German Missions in India say it is mandatory for almost everyone joining a German citizen, and for most spouses of people in Germany who do not hold a visa or residence permit for highly skilled work. They also state that the A1 exam cannot have taken place more than one year ago, so take the exam when your application is in sight.
The APS certificate, for students
If you are going to Germany for a degree, you will meet the APS certificate. APS India verifies academic documents issued by Indian institutions, and its certificate is part of the documents generally required in the German student visa procedure. APS India is part of the Science Section of the German Embassy New Delhi. You register online, pay the fee and send your documents by post or courier. APS India does not take documents in person. For selected master's subjects APS India also asks for a test called dMAT, which our dMAT exam guide explains.
Help from Yastudy's study-abroad team
Students on the A1 to B2 combo get a Germany roadmap session, plus admission or Ausbildung guidance. Read the Germany student visa checklist and study abroad with Yastudy.
Study plans for students in Bangalore
These plans count class time at 3 hours a day, Monday to Friday, with full attendance and daily practice. The exam date depends on what the exam centre has open.
| Plan | Course | Class time | Exam to take | What comes next |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ausbildung | A1 to B1 combo | About 13 weeks: A1 by week 3, A2 by week 6, B1 by week 13 | Goethe B1 in Bangalore | You apply to companies in Germany with your B1 certificate |
| Nursing | A1 to B2 combo | About 21 weeks: B1 by week 13, B2 by week 21 | Goethe B2 | The recognition of your nursing qualification, which needs B2 |
| Opportunity Card, with points for German | A1 to B1 or A1 to B2 combo | About 13 or about 21 weeks | Goethe B1 or B2 | The Opportunity Card application, with 2 or 3 points for German |
| Spouse visa | German A1 | About 3 weeks | Goethe A1, not more than one year before the visa application | The visa application with your A1 certificate |
Admission and Ausbildung guidance from the Yastudy study-abroad team comes with the A1 to B2 combo, not with the A1 to B1 combo.
If five hours a day is too much
Some students cannot give German five hours on every weekday, and it is better to say so now. In that case this intensive course is the wrong choice. Look at the weekend courses at the Goethe-Institut, and come back to us for B1 or B2 when you can study full-time.
Join from anywhere in Bangalore and Karnataka
Because the class is online, your area does not matter. You can join from Indiranagar, Koramangala, HSR Layout, Whitefield, Marathahalli, Electronic City, Jayanagar, JP Nagar, BTM Layout, Malleshwaram, Rajajinagar, Hebbal or Yelahanka, and you save the commute to a classroom.
The same batch is open to the rest of Karnataka: Mysuru, Mangaluru, Hubballi, Belagavi, Davanagere, Shivamogga and Kalaburagi. Students there travel only for the exam. Bangalore is the only Goethe exam place in Karnataka, and students in the north of the state may find Hyderabad or Pune nearer. See what else Yastudy offers in Karnataka.

Checks before you pay for a German course in Bangalore
These apply to every institute, including this one.
- Class hours. Ask how many class hours each level has. Months alone do not tell you how much teaching you get.
- Batch size. Ask for the largest batch, not the average.
- The trainer. Ask who teaches the class and where the trainer studied.
- Speaking. Ask whether you speak in every class. Every Goethe exam from A1 to B2 has a speaking part.
- Missed classes. Ask whether classes are recorded and what happens when you miss one.
- The exam. Ask which exam the course prepares you for, and how often you write a mock test.
- If you don't pass. Ask what happens next, and ask for it in writing.
- The exam fee. It is usually not part of the course fee, because you pay it to the exam centre.
- "Placement" and "guarantee". A German certificate does not come with a job. Ask exactly what is promised. Yastudy does not promise a job or a placement. What we promise is the repeat of a level under the conditions on this page and, with the A1 to B2 combo, a roadmap session and admission or Ausbildung guidance.
- A class before you pay. Ask to watch one. If you cannot see a class, you cannot judge it.
Our answers to all ten are on this page.
Your first German sentences, from Bangalore
The first A1 lesson is about greetings and introducing yourself. This is the kind of introduction you build in the first days of the course, and it is also the first task of the A1 speaking exam.
Introducing yourself
Guten Tag! Ich heiße Ananya Rao. Ich komme aus Indien und wohne in Bangalore. Ich bin 26 Jahre alt. Ich spreche Kannada, Englisch und Hindi, und ich lerne Deutsch. Ich bin Softwareentwicklerin.
Hello! My name is Ananya Rao. I come from India and live in Bangalore. I am 26 years old. I speak Kannada, English and Hindi, and I am learning German. I am a software developer.
| German | English |
|---|---|
| Woher kommst du? | Where do you come from? |
| Ich komme aus Bangalore. | I come from Bangalore. |
| Welche Sprachen sprichst du? | Which languages do you speak? |
| Ich spreche Kannada und Englisch. | I speak Kannada and English. |
| Was bist du von Beruf? | What is your job? |

Two things to notice. Every German noun starts with a capital letter: Beruf, Sprachen, Deutsch. And many job titles have two forms, one for men and one for women: Softwareentwickler and Softwareentwicklerin. Both are part of the German A1 syllabus.
