NEP 2020 encourages pursuit of dual-degrees of Indian and Australian universities: Austrade Commissioner
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has placed Indian students at an advantage to derive the utility of dual-degree programs, splitting equal time in Indian and Australian higher educational institutions, Vik Singh, Trade and Investment Commissioner, Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), said in Coimbatore on Friday. Addressing the media at a fair conducted by Austrade in which 19 Australian universities showcased opportunities for world-class higher education on their campuses for Indian students and parents, Mr. Vik Singh said there were at present about 1.3 lakh Indian students pursuing higher education in Australian universities, and the number was on the rise. 'The documentation process is simple and the students are provided guidance on the courses, working in Australia, and their rights through the website he said. A student is permitted to work and earn for 20 hours a week during the course of study. The duration of post-study work rights ranging from two to six years depending on the course of study, and the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement endows Indian students the privilege of working for an additional year, Mr. Vik Singh said. Australian universities offer scholarships and were, by and large, cost-effective destinations when compared to universities in European countries, he said. Students mainly choose to study technology, finance, business, and architecture. A rapid change in the choice of subjects was noticeable with students choosing subjects such as Psychology and Biotechnology. On the response in Coimbatore, he said there were 400 applications for the next intake. Reflecting on the discussion Austrade had with trade and industry representatives earlier, Mr. Vik Singh said prospective investors in Australia from Coimbatore were keen on making a foray into Artificial Intelligence, Textiles and Manufacturing, and green energy spaces. Through the third phase of 'Festival of Australia', a first-of-its-kind multi-city showcase celebrating Australia's world-class education and premium food and beverage products, students were facilitated by representatives of universities to explore educational programmes suiting their academic and career aspirations. 'Australia and India's educational ties have deepened over the years, fostering strong economic and cultural connections that continue to grow. The 'Festival of Australia' strengthens Australia's presence in India and celebrates a shared commitment to cross-cultural appreciation and collaboration,' Mr. Vik Singh said.
