Quick guide to study in Australia

Hello Aspirant,

SP Jain’s BBA has a reputation for global exposure because students rotate between campuses located in Dubai, Singapore, and Sydney. The campuses are high-quality, and the peer group is diverse -- bringing together students from numerous countries which helps develop a vibrant and competitive crowd. The study abroad experience is generally smooth - Dubai has a cosmopolitan and safe feel, Singapore is similarly safe and very organized, with strict rule and expectations but good for students, while Australia has a more relaxed but multicultural feel. Overall, the program provides a good balance of educational, international exposure, and cultural learning.

Hello,

If you have completed your MD from the Philippines and wish to practice or further study in Australia, you will need to follow the Australian Medical Council (AMC) process. First, verify your degree with ECFMG (Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates) through EPIC verification. Then, choose the AMC pathway — typically the Standard Pathway (for non-specialists) which involves the AMC MCQ Exam and AMC Clinical Exam, or the Competent Authority Pathway if you qualify. If your aim is postgraduate training, you should also explore specialist medical colleges in Australia for recognition of prior training. Additionally, you will need to meet English proficiency requirements through IELTS or OET. Visa requirements will vary depending on whether you apply for work, training, or further studies. It’s a detailed process, so starting early and following official AMC guidelines is key.

Thank you for your question!

Hi!

DASA eligibility for IIIT Hyderabad requires completion of Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry at the senior secondary level outside India. If your NSW HSC curriculum lacks Chemistry, you need to meet that requirement separately.

Now, NIOS is an Indian board. Even though you’re abroad, if you take NIOS Chemistry, it technically counts as an Indian qualification, which might not satisfy the "outside India" clause in DASA rules. In many cases, DASA strictly requires all three subjects to be part of your recognised foreign school-leaving certificate.

Best approach you can confirm directly with DASA/IIITH admissions via email.

Consider taking Chemistry through an Australian-recognised pathway (e.g., Open High School or TAFE NSW) instead of NIOS.

Thank you!

Hello,

No, NIOS Chemistry cannot be used to meet DASA eligibility for IIITH if you are studying the NSW HSC in Australia.

As per DASA guidelines, all three required subjects (Maths, Physics, and one among Chemistry/Bio/Biotech/CS) must be part of the same qualifying exam, which should be completed in a school located outside India. NIOS is considered an Indian board, so it does not meet the “outside India” condition.

So, if Chemistry is not part of your NSW HSC, then using NIOS Chemistry will not make you eligible under DASA for IIITH.
