Why Indian students choose Australia
Australia combines top global universities with one of the world's friendliest post-study work visas. The 485 Temporary Graduate visa gives you 2–4 years to work after graduation, with no employer sponsorship needed — and a clear path to PR through skilled migration.
Add in safe cities, beaches, and an established Indian community of 122,000+ students, and the appeal is hard to beat.
