Studying in Australia: questions
What is the Genuine Student requirement?
Australia assesses whether you genuinely intend to study. We help you write clear answers about your course choice, career plan and ties to India.
Is PTE accepted for Australia?
Yes. PTE Academic is widely accepted by universities and for the student visa.
When should I apply to study in Australia?
Start 10 to 12 months before your intake. Popular courses fill early, so we build your timeline backwards from the deadlines of each university on your list.
