Got Questions About Studying in Australia?
Verified expert answers regarding Australian university admissions, Genuine Student (GS) criteria, living cost proof, and Subclass 485 post-study work rights:
The Genuine Student (GS) requirement is the official Department of Home Affairs assessment framework (replacing the old GTE). Applicants must demonstrate a genuine intention to obtain a high-quality Australian qualification, explain why they chose the course and university, prove their financial capability, and outline how the qualification will deliver a high career ROI upon returning to India.
Under active Home Affairs regulations, applicants must demonstrate proof of funds covering 1 year of living costs: AUD $29,710 (≈ ₹16.40 Lakhs) plus remaining 1st-year tuition fees and return airfare (AUD $2,000). Acceptable financial sources include savings bank accounts, fixed deposits (held in parents' or student's name), and sanction letters from approved nationalized or private banks.
Under current policy, graduates of Australian Bachelor's degrees and Master's by Coursework degrees receive a 2-year PSW visa, while Master's by Research and PhD graduates receive 3 years. Furthermore, studying at designated regional campuses (such as Adelaide, Perth, Wollongong, Newcastle, or Hobart) provides an additional +1 to +2 year regional extension, allowing up to 4 years of open work rights.
Most Australian universities require an overall IELTS score of 6.5 (with no band less than 6.0) or a PTE Academic score of 58–64 for Master's programs. For Bachelor's programs, an IELTS 6.0 (no band < 5.5) or PTE 50–57 is standard. Note that the minimum student visa benchmark set by Home Affairs is IELTS 6.0 (or PTE equivalent 50).
The primary intake is Semester 1 (February/March), featuring 100% of all courses and maximum scholarship availability. The secondary intake is Semester 2 (July/August), which is equally popular for business, computing, data science, and engineering degrees. Select universities also operate a Trimester 3 in November.
