🎙️ SBS Tamil Radio Interview | Important Update for Indian Students Planning to Study in Australia 🇦🇺🇮🇳

I was interviewed by SBS Tamil Radio — one of Australia’s national public radio broadcasters — to discuss the recent changes to Australia’s student visa assessment process, especially for applicants from **India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Bhutan**.

From January 2026, these countries have moved into a higher scrutiny category, which means:
🔹 More detailed financial documents
🔹 Stronger verification of education records
🔹 Clear proof of English language ability
🔹 Possible delays due to additional checks
❗ This does NOT mean student visas are closed or banned.
Genuine students with proper documents can still obtain visas — but shortcuts will no longer work.

📊 Key fact:
Indian students make up **around 30% of all international students in Australia**, which is why this change matters.

In the **SBS Tamil Radio interview**, I explain in simple terms:
✔ Why Australia introduced these changes
✔ What “Evidence Level” really means
✔ How Indian students and families are affected
✔ Practical steps students should take now

Please share this with students, parents, and anyone planning to study in Australia. Accurate information is crucial at this time.
