- The best part about Dekin is up-to-date curriculum paired with expert faculty and global exposure.
- You'll have no shortage of accommodation options or the ways to find them. There are plenty of online platforms, IM groups, and flyers to help you get your accommodation sorted.
- Options near the university would be a bit expensive compared to distant options. Similarly, solo accommodations would be costlier compared to dorms. So choose an option that fits your budget and needs.

- I love all the things extracurricular activities, sports, teaching, practical works, and many more. There are definitely many things in this university and I will explore more as I study two more years in this university. Thanks
Dislikes
- I only dislike one thing that is the pressure of study in the first trimester. The assignment deadlines for the first trimester students is very less and the time given to explain these things up is also very less. Students like me from India or any country where assignments are not that much impactful, Will not focus more on them but here they matter alot.
Scholarship
Yes, I got 25% scholarship.
Yes I gave my coe that had my basic details like my interests and all the things. Because Deakin is in the top 1% universities of the world. It includes students from all the Nations not only from India and it provides a lot of opportunities in future as it will give me a global citizenship.My university is fun I love studying there enjoy the activities and I'm very very lucky to be in that university. I am damn sure that my future is secure and I'm going to achieve my goal in future. I will recommend this university to my friend as well as it is a very great university to study in.

- The infrastructure and friendly student support there really makes easy for us to interact with the staff and the attendance policy is also not that strict as we can take the classes online. Most of the seminars are also available virtually and lectures are always recorded live.
Dislikes
- The location for me its like little bit far from the melbourne CBD but nothing to worry as we can get a train or tramp as well.Even they have a express bus shuttle service from box hill station to deakin university.
Scholarship
No, i did not applied for scholarship.
I had to submit my short 300 words SoP and one long detailed SoP, and a detailed CV as well. The main reason was the ranking of this university is quite good as compared to other university and the fee structure is also affordable compared to group of eight. Also the main highlight was the course i took was accredited from Australian computer society(ACS). Overall its good but the course is challenging because i do not have background of IT and the university experience is top notch like the facilities are quite good. The lecture theatre, library, medical centre, Gym are quite good. There are many cafes and vending machine in the premises where you can get variety of food ranging from continental to indian.

Deakin Indian merit Scholarship 20%. There was no special requirements for the scholarship.

Scholarship
Yes, I got a Deakin India postgraduate bursary which is a 20% scholarship on my tuition fees. You have to score between 55-75% in your undergraduate degree and 70-80% in the 12th standard to achieve this scholarship.
Deakin Institute is ranked among the top 1% of all the universities across the globe. The course structure of Masters of biotechnology is practically based and in the second year university allows to work in industries as an intern or choose a thesis pathway which helps students to decide their path. The admission process in this institute is very simple you just need to qualify their admission criteria like min. 12th percentage around 60% and graduation should also be above 60%. I didn't join any coaching institute for exam preparation. I approach Collegedunia for university selection and guidance for the admission process and they helped me a lot through the whole process.
I think they really value student satisfaction over anything they really tried to understand or really tried to help you in terms of fresher in terms of if you need some changing you know a lot of my friends if they didn't like courses it was quite easy to drop and find a new one instead of a long procedure where you know might scare students that I am not liking the class but then there is such a long procedure and I don't wanna drop the class now. So I think in terms of that they really try to be as helpful and as flexible as they can.
I was searching since class 11th. I searched about Australia and made a list of 10 different universities. Then, I called my counselor and she told me to go for Deakin.
