Most Australian universities accept a 3-year Indian bachelor's degree for entry into master's programs. This is a key advantage compared to countries like Canada, which usually require a 4-year degree.
However, top Group of Eight universities typically want a higher academic score, usually 70–75% or more, while most other universities require at least 65% in your bachelor's degree.
To meet admission and visa requirements, you need to prove your English proficiency. The main accepted tests and scores are:
Make sure you meet both the university and visa minimum scores before applying.
Australia has two main university intakes each year:
There is also a limited November intake, but it is not widely available.
Applying by these deadlines is crucial because late applications are often rejected or delayed.
Since 2024, the Genuine Student requirement replaced the older Genuine Temporary Entrant test. You must write a personal statement explaining why you chose your course, why Australia, and your plans after graduation.
This statement is assessed seriously and generic or copied answers are the most common reason for visa refusals. Write it yourself and be honest.
The student visa (subclass 500) process takes 4 to 12 weeks depending on your institution's risk rating. Key steps include:
Do not book flights until your visa is granted. The visa fee of ₹1.4L (from 1 July 2026) is non-refundable even if refused.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Bachelor's Degree Percentage | 65%+ for most master's; 70–75%+ for Group of Eight universities |
| IELTS Academic | 6.5 overall, 6.0 minimum in each band |
| PTE Academic | 58 – 64 |
| TOEFL iBT | 79 – 94 |
Before applying, verify that your chosen course and university are registered on the official CRICOS register. This ensures they are legally allowed to enrol international students and issue a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) needed for your visa.
You can access the full CRICOS dataset monthly updated at data.gov.au or search individual institutions at cricos.education.gov.au.
This article covers the essentials for admission requirements, but for a full breakdown of costs, visas, scholarships, and work rights, see our complete Australia country guide.
