In a significant policy shift, at least six Australian universities have restricted student applications from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Jammu and Kashmir. The move follows a spike in visa rejection rates for Indian students, reaching 24.3%. Citing concerns of misuse, the Australian Department of Home Affairs flagged one in four Indian visa applications as ‘fraudulent or non-genuine’. These restrictions, varying by institution, aim to tighten admissions and reassess student profiles. For more information and expert guidance, contact GOFOREN at 7600909090.
