Some Indian educational degrees are now set to be recognised in Australia.

Australia's prime minister Anthony Albanese announced this on his maiden visit to India.

This is under Australia-India Education Qualification Recognition Mechanism.

The new mechanism will mean that degrees obtained in Australia will now be recognised in India & vice-versa.

A professional degree in engineering, medicine, or the law is not covered by this agreement.

With this arrangement, it should be simpler for Indians to travel to Australia for both work and education.

Education Minister of Australia Jason Clare and Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan came up with the final design for this new system.

Geelong’s Deakin University will be the first ever foreign university to have an offshore campus in India.

A new scholarship “Maitri” was also announced for Indian students studying in Australia.

The ‘Maitri’ scholarships will provide financial assistance to Indian students in Australia.
