Under the Credit-Transfer-Benefit-Scheme, the students will study 1 or 2 years of their degree at Chandigarh University and finally will be able to continue their remaining tenure of the degree at Australian University," added Dr Bawa."The first benefit of the articulation programs offered at Chandigarh University is that the Indian Students do not have to drop-out an academic year due to pandemic crisis and secondly the students will be able to save themselves from paying the hefty Australian fees for the duration (1 or 2 years) they will be studying at Chandigarh University & also save the living expenses which they would have to shell out while staying in Australia," added Pro-Chancellor."Australia has always one of the preferred destinations for Indian students to pursue higher education which can be verified from the fact that the year 2018-19 witnessed an increase of 71 per cent in the number of students moving to Australia for pursuing higher education," said Satnam Singh Sandhu, Chancellor, Chandigarh University."The students who will be joining the articulation programs of Australian Universities at Chandigarh University can avail other benefits like scholarships offered by Australian Universities, concessions in accommodation fees, some relaxations in ILETS score beside the students will also be entitled to all other benefits offered by Australian Government to the Indian Students like Work Permits after completion of degree and others," he added."Currently no foreign embassy is offering visas to Indian students as there are travel restrictions due to pandemic and the situation is likely to continue for some months. Indian students should take benefit of the International Articulation programs which are being offered at Chandigarh University and safe precious academic year," said Satnam Singh Sandhu, Chancellor, Chandigarh University.This story is provided by PRNewswire. will not be responsible in any way for the content of this article.
