Rs 9 lakh saved, and told only Australia would work.
- A BE in mechanical engineering with 72%.
- Rs 9 lakh doesn't cover a third of the living costs Australia asks you to show.
What we changed.
- We compared Australia and Germany in rupees: at a public German university his biggest cost was the €11,904 blocked account, not tuition.
- He started German classes the week he applied, so he would land with A2.
