India education market profile

Education is an area of increasing importance to Australia's bilateral relationship with India. India is the second largest source country for overseas students in Australia, after China.

Australia is a major destination for Indian students studying abroad, who recognise the high quality and cost competitiveness of Australian education services. 

In October 2012 Australia and India signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation on Student Mobility and Welfare to share initiatives that further enhance the international student experience and strengthen the monitoring of education agent activities.
