A Defizitbescheid is an official "notice of deficit" issued by German state authorities. Because Indian nursing curriculum (GNM or BSc) differs slightly from the European standard (especially in practical hours for certain wards like psychiatry), the authority issues this document outlining exactly what hours or exams you are missing.
