Australia is becoming a hot destination for Indian students with tens of thousands heading down-under to further their education in ever increasing numbers.In the 2005 academic year, 27,661 Indian students were enrolled in various education institutes in Australia — a whopping 75% increase over the previous the year.
And, in the case of vocational or professional courses, the rise has been phenomenal – a massive 143% increase over 2004 in the number of Indian students pursuing professional courses in Australia.
Australia's rise as a preferred education destination began in the aftermath of the visa restrictions following 9/11 attack and the fact that as an English-speaking country it offers a range of courses in the post-school segment.

The higher education segment attracted as many as 22,279 Indian students, a 24.8% increase over the '04 total of 17,858 students.
