Important things to know about the process for study in Australia
Australia has 2 major intakes, Summer (January-March) and winter (July) intake. Some institution also offer a smaller intake of October-November with least programs on offer. Students must start the process before 6 months of the intake & apply visa before minimum 3 months to have a smooth and successful process.
To be eligible for study in Australia, you must meet some requirements. You must be academically good with a minimum grades of 60% in your last qualification & minimum IELTS of 6 bands or equivalent PTE/TOEFL. The requirements are higher for some programs and higher qualifications. Other requirements are to have required funds, and eligible occupation and income of sponsors. The best sponsors are your parents or in some cases grandparents. You should avoid other sponsors and choose maximum of 2 or 3 sponsors for a good visa success rate.
Let us tell that this is most important and critical phase of the process. The institution assesses your financials, credential, takes your interview and check other things like statement of purpose. Passing this assessment helps to get the COE (confirmation of enrollment), the document that is used to apply the student visa, subclass 500. This phase is usually second step after you receive the offer letter from institution.
