Starting from beginning, to pursue under-graduate courses in Germany you ought to have cleared your 12th/ Secondary Level Certification and,

1)Cleared your JEE Advanced

2)Completed one year of bachelor degree education from a recognized university in India

3)Cleared the Feststellungsprüfung – the entrance exam for different universities you would take to signify effective completion of Studienkolleg.

The first two points are clear enough. For students of non-science background, the first is obviously not an option and can be accordingly discounted. So, say for instance you are interested in pursuing Economics from Germany and you have completed one year of B.A in economics from a recognized university in India, then you are eligible for direct admission to the B.A Economics courses in Germany.

It is important to note here that different universities have different eligibility criteria based on the course on offer. It is always advisable to check the same from the university you are applying to as well. Also, high academic performance increases your chances of admissions. Higher level of excellence results in universities asking for as high as 90% in your secondary school examinations. However, in case you have cleared your JEE Advanced, the cut off is 50%.

In case you do not qualify under the first two, there is always a road open for your studies in Germany via the Studienkolleg.
