Five Aussie universities ban Indian students after surge in fraudulent student visa applications
Several Australian universities are cracking down on fraudulent student visa applications from India.
Victoria University, Edith Cowan University, the University of Wollongong, Torrens University, and Southern Cross University are among the universities that have implemented bans on Indian students from certain states to preempt potential government restrictions.
The Australian government applies ratings to countries it considers a higher risk of visa fraud, and many students from these countries have been found to work illegally after arriving in Australia.
Education agencies that recruit international students in exchange for commissions have been accused of misleading conduct.
