Dear @Pawan,

Welcome to the Wefugees Community and thank you for reaching out to us.

On this website, you find information on how to recognise your school-leaving certificate from India in Germany, which might be the first step and will enable future employers or schools to assess your qualifications. 

There are some professional fields in which you have a chance to make an "Ausbildung" (vocational training) without your school-leaving certificate correspond to either the German "Hauptschulsabschluss" or the "Realschulabschluss". Just be aware that the options will probably be rather limited (jobs like cook, horticulturist, painter and decorator, coiffeur etc.). However, there are several ways to make the i.e. "Hauptschulabschluss" as well - you could visit evening classes, for instance. This would allow you even to work while catching up with your formal degree.

I hope these information are helpful to you and don't hesitate to get back to us with any further questions.

All the best,

Meike
