Important information
Please don’t assume that appearing in any of these NIRF Top 100 lists automatically makes you eligible for MATES. The Australian scheme specifies particular institutional, qualification, graduation-date, age and English-language requirements. The applicable NIRF category and ranking year matter, and the ballot process is also required.
If you’ve recently graduated from any of these institutions, check the official eligibility criteria to see whether your qualification meets the requirements.
Has anyone here applied for the MATES visa or knows someone who has? Please share your experience or any verified information that could help other graduates. Feel free to share this post with seniors and friends who may benefit from the opportunity!
