Verification of reality for Indian students: cost increases, rental misfortunes and employment struggles in Australia

An Indian community group in Australia has published a solid opinion for potential students who plan to descend, warning subsistence costs, aggravation of the rental crisis and challenges to find part -time jobs.

In an article on Reddit, the group “Indians in Australia” said that it had seen an increase in students from students newly arrived in financial difficulty. “It is not to discourage anyone,” said the group in a recent statement, “but to help you plan in a realistic way before taking this big step.”

Students must be ready to spend at least 2,000 AUD per month – approximately RS 1 LAKH – on basic subsistence costs such as rent, food and public services, noted the group. Although part -time jobs can help cover some of these expenses, they are often unable to make high school fees.

Master diplomas generally cost between 40 and 50 Lakh, while baccalaureate programs can reach RS 70-80 Lakh. Although scholarships exist, they generally cover only 10 to 20% of the costs, which makes financial support for parents or bank loans almost inevitable.

The hire crunch hits hard

The press release reported a “severe rental crisis” in Australian cities, especially in student centers like Melbourne and Sydney. Many students are facing high initial costs for airbnbs or shared accommodation, with cheaper rentals, often located 30 to 45 minutes from university campuses.

The group also warned against the transition to colleges at a lower cost as a means of reducing expenses. “The evolution of institutions can affect your visa or cause serious complications,” he said, highlighting recent policy changes that have committed many gaps.

The job search takes time

Unlike common perceptions, part -time work is not immediately available for many newcomers. “Many students take up to three months to find their first job,” said the administrators, urging candidates to plan at least six months of expenses before arrival.

Key recommendations

Potential students are strongly wise:

• Look for the total cost of their diploma
• Maintain a financial stamp for at least six months of subsistence expenses
• Mentally prepared to live frugally, to share housing and to persist in hunting jobs

The edifying message occurs while Australia remains a high -level study destination for Indian students, despite the increase in costs and more strict visa regulations.
