competitive. We do not have a standard list of available scholarships. You will have to
research the individual university websites for this information.

studying?
A. International students can work for up to 20 hours per week in part-time or casual

permit after you have arrived in Australia and started your course.
Please note that part-time jobs are not easy to find in Australia.
Q. Can I work in
Australia after completing my education?
A. Yes, you can work in Australia if you get a full-time job with a company. It is not
easy to get jobs though. If you do not get a job, you have to return back.
It is possible to apply for immigration as well. However, we do not provide information
about the same. We are an education website and we can help you in the university
application process once you have decided.
Q. Is it
easy to get jobs in Australia after finishing my education?
A. Getting a job is not easy. It is possible if you perform well in your program and
in your job interviews. Going by the past statistics, some Indian students have managed to
find jobs and have stayed back after completion of their education. However, there is no
guarantee. You have to take a chance and perform well. We cannot predict your chances.
Q. For how many years,
will my student visa be valid?
A. You will get a visa for the duration of the program. There is usually no extra time
granted. On completion of the program, you are expected to leave the country within 28
days. If you wish to stay longer you must seek approval from the Department of
Immigration, Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs.

work while I study?
A. Dependents of postgraduate - Master and Doctorate Students, who hold Visa Subclass
574, can work full-time after the student has commenced his or her course in Australia.
Q. How much can I earn by doing
part-time work?
A. This will depend on the kind of job that you get. Most part-time jobs are minimum
wage jobs like shop assistant, helper at fast-food joints, bars and department store,
cleaner, waiter/waitress and clerical jobs.
Rates of pay for casual work for students range
from A$ 6 to A$ 10 per hour.
Please note that the income you earn from part-time jobs may not be sufficient for your
living expenses.

Q. Why does Infozee take
the visa draft of Rs. 9300?
A. Infozee does not charge any processing fee. We just take a demand draft for the visa
application fee. This is a draft of Rs. 9300 in favour of "Australian High
Commission" payable at the city where you will apply for the visa. This the usual
visa application charges which you have to pay the Australian government for the student
visa process.
We take this in advance just to ensure that the
student is serious about Australian education. As the service is FREE, there is a chance
of misuse. Taking the draft in advance ensures that the student is serious and keen about
astudying in Australia.
Q. What is assured
admission? Can anyone guarantee an admission?
A. Technically, only the university can assure you of an admission after going through
your credentials. Most universities have their own admission criteria. However, if you
meet certain minimum requirements like a IELTS score and a valid education background, we
can assure you that you will get an admission in a particularuniversity. This is because
of our experience with these universities.

the institutes for students who apply through Infozee.

will incur?
