Some Australian universities have stopped accepting students from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Jammu & Kashmir. The move follows a rise in fake student visa applications used for migration, not study. Authorities fear this could harm the reputation of their education system. Applications from these states now face strict checks and more rules. The Australian Home Affairs Department is helping in the process. Indian education agents say genuine students are upset. India is a top source of international students for Australia. The ban may affect upcoming admissions and education ties between the two countries. (PC: Representative image)
