Ban imposed on Indian students: Australia, which is a favorite country for Indian students after America, Britain and Canada, has now banned students from five states of India. According to a report, many Australian universities have refused to give admission to students from Gujarat, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana.
The reason for this has been told that some people were using fake documents and were trying to work in the name of studies. For this reason these restrictions have been imposed. There were also reports in 2023 that some universities of Australia refused to give visas to students from some states of India. The reason for this was that many students used to leave their studies in the middle and in some cases a visa was being taken wrongly.
Australian government has taken several steps regarding immigration
The government of Australia is making major changes to reduce the rapidly growing migration in the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Anthony Albanies and to curb fake enrollment of international students. The ban imposed by universities on Indian students is being considered part of this reform. Australia plans to reduce the number of migrants coming to their country by 2025.
According to a report, between December 2022 and December 2023, there has been a decrease of 48% in getting visas to Indian students. Now about 20% of Indian students' visa applications are also being rejected. Applications of students of Nepal and Pakistan are also rejecting in large numbers.
'Leave the course in the middle'
Australia's Central Queensland University, which is located in more than 20 places in the country, has told its agents that it will no longer give admission in English programs to students coming from India and Nepal. Also, people above 25 years of age or married people will not get admission, unless they are coming to do research). This is being done so that the university's visa rating remains 'low risk'.
It was also reported in 2023 that Western Sydney University told its agents not to give admission to students of Punjab, Haryana and Gujarat as most of the students from these states had left the course in the middle.
Difficulties increased for Indian students
Time is becoming more difficult for Indian students who dream of studying abroad. Now not only Australia, but Canada and U.K. Like countries are also tightening rules for students.
Canada is now limiting the number of students permit (visa) and U.K. After completing his studies, he has started banning the right to work there. It is also being said that India's education system does not fully prepare students for studies abroad. The unemployment rate in educated youth in the country is also said to be very high. For this reason, many youths want to go abroad not only for studies, but also for better jobs and life.
Recently, the US expelled hundreds of Indians from the country due to illegal living. It also shows how people are trying to settle there somehow and settle there.
