Eligibility & funds

What you'll need

Australia's Department of Home Affairs assesses whether you are a Genuine Student. These are the core requirements — confirmed honestly before you apply.

1

Academic record

Strong 10th and 12th results relevant to your intended course. Course and institution must genuinely fit your academic background — a mismatch is a common refusal trigger.

2

English test score

Typically IELTS 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5 for most institutions; many universities require 6.5. PTE Academic scores are accepted widely. *Confirm exact requirements for your course.

3

Genuine funds

You must show genuine financial capacity to cover tuition, living costs (AUD 24,505 per year for the main student as a guide — *confirm current official figure) and OSHC. Funds must be real and well-sourced — show-money triggers refusal.

4

Genuine Student statement

A truthful, personalised explanation of your study motivation, course choice and post-study plans. We help you write your own honest statement — templated answers are a major refusal risk.

Your journey

From first counselling to campus in Australia

Allow 6–12 months before your target intake. February (Semester 1) applications ideally start by August the previous year; July (Semester 2) by February.

1

Profile review & shortlist

We assess your marks, gaps, budget and career goal, then shortlist genuine Australian institutions and courses with a written cost estimate in rupees covering tuition, living and OSHC.

2

English test

We guide you on IELTS or PTE, the target band scores, and a preparation plan. No fake scores — the Department of Home Affairs verifies results directly with testing bodies.

3

SOP, documents & application

We help you write a truthful Genuine Student statement and assemble transcripts, certificates and references. Consistency across all documents is essential and we audit everything before submission.

4

Offer, OSHC & funds

Once you hold a genuine offer, we explain exactly what funds evidence you need, help you arrange OSHC (mandatory), and prepare your complete subclass 500 application.

5

Visa lodgement & decision

We lodge your online application, monitor its progress and respond to any requests for further information. Typical processing is 4–8 weeks for straightforward applications. *Confirm current processing times with the Department of Home Affairs.

The honest way

Genuine intentions, strong evidence — the only way that works

Australia's Genuine Student requirement means the Department of Home Affairs looks carefully at why you want to study this specific course at this specific institution, what your real post-study plans are, and whether your circumstances make your stated intention believable. Templated Statements of Purpose written by agents — recycled across hundreds of applications — are one of the most common reasons Punjabi students get refused.

We help you tell your own true story, clearly and compellingly. If your academic background does not fit the course you want, we say so and find a route that does. If your funds are not yet sufficient, we explain what you need to build and for how long. An honest application is the strongest application — and it is the only kind we will submit.

  • Course and institution matched to your real academic background and career goal
  • Genuine Student statement written personally by you with our guidance — never a template
  • Real, well-sourced funds only — show-money and back-dated entries are the fastest route to refusal
  • OSHC arranged correctly as part of your visa preparation
  • Honest advice on Temporary Graduate visa eligibility built into your course choice from day one
  • Written ₹ cost breakdown before you commit — tuition, living, OSHC, visa and our fees
Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about Australia

Since 2024, the subclass 500 student visa requires you to be a 'Genuine Student' — meaning the Department of Home Affairs must be satisfied that you genuinely intend to study, that your course is consistent with your background and future plans, and that you will comply with your visa conditions. Your Genuine Student statement must be personal and truthful. We help you write your own — a copied or templated statement is a major refusal risk.

The Department of Home Affairs requires evidence of financial capacity to cover tuition, living costs and OSHC. The indicative living cost figure is currently AUD 24,505 per year for the main applicant (approximately ₹13–15 lakh at current rates), plus full tuition and OSHC premiums. Funds must be genuine — not borrowed or inflated. *Confirm the current official figure on the Department of Home Affairs website before applying.

Most universities require IELTS 6.0–6.5 overall with no individual band below 5.5 or 6.0 depending on the course. PTE Academic is accepted by the majority of institutions with equivalent score requirements. The student visa itself also has an English requirement. We confirm the exact score for your specific institution and course — never assume the visa minimum is sufficient.

Eligible graduates can apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), which allows you to work in Australia after your studies. The permitted duration depends on your qualification type and, under recent changes, the field of your study. Graduates of regional institutions or certain skills-shortage fields may qualify for a longer period. We advise on this honestly when shortlisting your course so it supports your stay-back plans. *Confirm current rules with the Department of Home Affairs.

Your spouse and dependent children may be able to accompany you on their own visas, subject to the conditions at the time of application. Spouses of some postgraduate research students may have work rights. We map family options clearly when planning your application — the rules and conditions change periodically. *Confirm current dependent visa conditions with the Department of Home Affairs.
