2. EDUCATION SYSTEM:

The main reason why the Indian education system is ranked poorly coming in at 131st in the world in terms of education is that the education system in India focusses more on theoretical knowledge rather than practical knowledge. In India education is treated as a formality rather than a necessity. The education system in the Australian education system, a standard curriculum is set for all students. Some states though have a modified curriculum to provide their students with. Literacy, Numeracy, Information and communication technology, Critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability, Ethical understanding and intercultural understanding are some of the subjects in the said curriculum.

3. GRADING SYSTEM:

The Grading system in India is generally based on the percentage of the marks obtained by the student. The students are taught textual matter and are expected to present their answers exactly as they are given in the textbooks for maximum marks in their tests and exams. On the other hand, the education system in Australia presents their students with grades such as HD (High Distinction), D (Distinction), C (Credit), P (Pass), and N (Fail). HD is the highest grade given while N is the lowest. Students during their Honor’s Degree have different grades such as H1, H2A, H3, etc. Students are allowed to write their answers in the way most suitable for them covering maximum facts and statistics.

4. UNIVERSITIES:

India has some of the best Universities focusing on Engineering and Medicine such as the Indian Institute of Technology, Indian Institute of Science, University of Delhi, etc but these are the only subjects which Indian Universities mainly focus on. Australia is majorly known for its Culinary field but Universities in Australia are featured in the QS World University Rankings 2020 for various subjects. The highest-ranked of which is the University of Melbourne at 39th in the world – second only to Australian National University on the

Australian leader board, at 24th followed by the University of Sydney and the University of Queensland.

5. STUDENT LIFE:

India is home to 1.5 billion people which makes it the second-most populous country in the world. Students in India are very competitive because they are raised to be so as the population is very high in comparison to the number of seats available per educational institution. Each and every examination is regarded to be very important, also the cost of living in India combined with the tuition fees is very reasonable. International students in Australia are welcomed by rewarding experiences in all aspects. Teenagers here are very friendly which allows you to interact with them and make many friends. There are many activities to do outside the classroom as well such as Book/Movie clubs, Gaming parlors, Sporting activities, Culinary workshops, etc. Slowly but steadily Australia is becoming the new ‘hot’ international study destination.
