The change, effective from July 1, 2024, has raised concerns among the Indian diaspora. Forming a substantial portion of the countryโs international community (118,109 as of 2024), prospects now find themselves disillusioned. With global inflation and rising living costs, the additional ๐๐จ๐ ๐ด๐ต๐ฌ (๐ฑ๐ฌ,๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐ก๐ฅ) fee represents a significant burdenโbefore stepping into the country.

Add to that global inflation and rising living costs, and students are now questioning:

A traditionally preferred destination for decades, Australia has long been the prominent choice for Indian studentsโdue to its world-class universities and post-study work opportunities. However, recent news of Australiaโs immigration law changes, including the now new โstudent visa fee increase,โ has only made the numbers decrease. Add to its ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐, ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐, and inability to ๐๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐๐ผ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐โand the recipe has quickly become a PR disaster.

Following the news, this sentiment is what collectively echoed across all the protests in the country, including in cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra.
Looking from afar, the changes, in theory, to the ๐ฐ๐ด๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฎ are meant to bring about a more younger generation of skilled migrants to Australia. However, a theory is one thingโin practice, it is another. The result? A loss of goodwill and a worsening of reputation.
Especially when it comes to the India-Australia relationship, which has historically been a cornerstone of bilateral ties.

But Hereโs a Catch. One that every Indian student (and you reading this) should be aware of:
Does an admission letter from an international university alone set you up for success? Be it ๐๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ฎ, ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐จ๐, ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐, ๐๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ or anywhere elseโyour education may open the door, but your career starts where it ends.
And thatโs exactly where most consultants fail. Admission secured, job done.
But is that enough in todayโs hyper-competitive world?
What if you had a partner who guided you all the wayโbeyond admission? Someone who helped you secure internships, build an impressive portfolio, and land your dream job with confidence?
