They made it shorter overall. Earlier the speaking section used to take around 30-35 mins, now it’s like 25 max. They removed some question types too… no more “describe image” i think, which honestly is a relief

True and the “answer short question” section got trimmed down too. Earlier you had like 10-12 of those rapid fire types, now it’s around 5. Makes the whole flow smoother but also less time to prove yourself I guess? By the way, If anyone applying to Germany, Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences ranking isn’t bad at all for engineering & tech.
