A Zeugnisbewertung is an official statement of comparability, issued by the ZAB, describing what your foreign higher-education degree is equivalent to in Germany. It's useful for jobs and visas when you need to prove the value of your qualification.
Why it matters for applicants from Pakistan, India & Bangladesh
For work routes (not university admission), a Zeugnisbewertung can be the document an employer or authority asks for to trust your degree.
