Australia has decided to offer additional work options for
Indian students to help them tide over impact of depreciation of rupee
against dollar. As value of rupee has fallen to a record low against
dollar, Indian students are forced to shell out more money to meet
living cost abroad.
Indian students enrolled in postgraduate and doctoral research programs at Australian universities will now be able to work as faculty, assist research programs, work in the libraries, laboratories and other avenues in the universities itself. Graduate students will also be permitted to work more hours so that they can earn money to support their living expenses.
Earlier, students could work only limited number of hours because the accepted policy was to allow them to focus more on studies. David Holly, consul general for South India, Australian Consulate told, “We are going to provide flexible work options for postgraduate and research students. They will be able to work for an unlimited number of hours per week during their studies.”
According to visa statistics, depreciation of rupee against dollar has not impacted the flow of students to Australia. There are 70,000 Indian students in Australia. There is a 10 per cent increase in the number of Indian students who have enrolled in universities in Victoria where nine top universities of Australia is located.
