I hate this college and it’s lecturer specially this venkat ramana sir of data science department who keeps tormenting and insulting girls and comparing them with his own daughter
He throws comment on girls dresses and behaviour stating “ammai kada nuvu”, “stand like a girl”, “i wouldnt let my daughter wear that”, “girls look good in salwar kameez”, “girls are not supposed to drive they should let their parents drop them to college”. He’s so sexist and misogynist
My friend also reported that he is Islamophobic as well. Ugh please dont join this college.

I'm planning to apply for the February 2027 intake in Australia and I'm feeling a bit skeptical because I've been hearing about stricter student visa rules and higher refusal rates.
For those who have recently applied or are currently studying in Australia:
Is it actually becoming harder to get an Australian student visa?
What major visa rule changes have happened recently?
Are there any new requirements, restrictions, or policies I should be aware of before applying for the 2027 intake?
Has anyone noticed changes in approval rates for Indian students?
What mistakes should I avoid when preparing my application?
I'm especially interested in hearing from students who received visas in 2025 or 2026, or from education consultants and migration professionals.
Any advice or recent experiences would be really helpful

I'm planning to apply for a Master's in IT/Cybersecurity in Australia for the February 2027 intake and would appreciate some opinions.
My protile:
B.Tech in CSE (Data Science)
CGPA: 7.2
All backlogs cleared
Degree duration became 2021-2026 instead of 2021-
2025
The reason for the extension was not academic performance. In 2023, I had a severe respiratory illness (bronchitis/lung inflammation) and had to take a semester break because my health wasn't good enough for regular college attendance. After recovering, I returned and completed my degree.
I have been healthy for the past year, have no ongoing respiratory issues, and can study normally.
Would this health-related extension be viewed negatively by Australian universities or during the student visa process? Has anyone been in a similar situation and still received admission and a visa?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I’m not much of a reader, so I usually struggle to finish books. Recently, I read Verity by Colleen Hoover and surprisingly loved it because it kept me hooked from start to finish.
Now I’m looking for books that can help improve my communication skills, vocabulary, confidence in conversations, or overall way of expressing myself but I don’t want something dry or overly academic.
Any recommendations for books that are both engaging and useful for improving communication?
