You may be exempted from this test if you took your Abitur in Germany or at a German school abroad, or if you can present certain language certificates, for example, from the Goethe- Institute. The basis for exemption from the PNDS varies slightly from one university to the next. You are therefore recommended to inquire at your chosen Fachhochschule as early as possible. The PNDS is held by the Fachhochschule itself in accordance with standardised regulations valid throughout Germany.
