Indian students facing limitations from five Australian Colleges due to increase in fraudulent applications

Indian students facing limitations from five Australian Colleges due to increase in fraudulent applications 

In response to an increase in fraudulent applications from South Asia wishing to work – not study – in our nation, at least five Australian institutions have banned or restricted students from specific Indian states, according to a media report. 

Australia is on course to have the highest annual inflow of Indian students ever, surpassing the previous record of 75,000 set in 2019. 

The integrity of Australia’s immigration system and the long-term effects on the country’s lucrative international education market have come under scrutiny as a result of the current surge, lawmakers and the education sector have expressed concern, according to a Tuesday article in The Sydney Morning Herald.  

But the current surge has prompted concerns from lawmakers and the education sector about the integrity of Australia’s immigration system and the long-term impact on the nation’s lucrative international education market, The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper reported on Tuesday. 

 
With many applications deemed by universities not to meet Australian visa requirements that they are a “genuine temporary entrant” coming solely for education, universities are putting restrictions in place to pre-empt their “risk rating” being downgraded, the report said. 

An investigation by The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald newspapers has obtained emails from within Victoria University, Edith Cowan University, the University of Wollongong, Torrens University, and agents working for Southern Cross University that show the crackdown on applications from Indian students. 

Universities with restricted access to certain Indian states are worried that Home Affairs would limit their capacity to expedite student visas due to the high number of applicants who truly want to work in Australia rather than study there. 

Perth’s Edith Cowan University in February placed an outright ban on applicants from the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana, then in March, Victoria University increased restrictions on student applications from eight Indian states, including Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat. 

These restrictions came just days after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited India, in part to celebrate Australia’s education links and announce a new agreement with Australia’s universities and colleges that would, he said, herald “the most comprehensive and ambitious arrangement agreed to by India with any country”. 

Crucially, the agreement included a “mutual recognition of qualifications between Australia and India”, which will make travelling to either country for university study easier. 

The University of Wollongong in March also ratcheted up conditions on its “genuine temporary entrant” test on students from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Lebanon, Mongolia, Nigeria and “other countries deemed a risk (of students not being a genuine temporary entrant) by the Department of Home Affairs”. 

A spokeswoman for Adelaide’s Torrens University said it too was “now looking carefully at each area where our applications come from” after the university told The Times Higher Education in March that it was considering only “very strong” applications from Gujarat, Haryana and Punjab, the report added.
