DAAD, Application procedure

German Academic Exchange Service is the complete name of DAAD in English. Though it may confuse everyone that the abbreviation DAAD does not match with its name and that is because DAAD is the abstract of the German name Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst. DAAD was found on 1st January 1925 but in 1945, it got sealed for some unexplainable reasons. Though in 1950, after almost 5 years, it was re-established and till date, it is running successfully. DAAD is a self-ruling and federally financed private adjuvant organization providing support to international students.

It is important to understand that DAAD is not an educational institute, but it surely provides support and superintendence to prepare appropriately for studying in Germany. DAAD is representative of approximately 365 German preparation Institutions including Science colleges, Technical Universities, and art colleges as well.
