Your Rs. 30 lakh should be treated as your tuition budget alone, since Australia's visa rules require you to separately prove close to Rs. 20 lakh a year in living costs, but within that tuition figure you have several strong accounting pathways to choose from.

Accounting Options That Fit Your Tuition Budget

ProgrammeInstitutionApprox Cost
Graduate Diploma of Professional AccountingCharles Sturt UniversityAUD 36,000, about Rs. 24.2 lakh
Graduate Certificate in Professional AccountingFederation UniversityAUD 28,800, about Rs. 19.4 lakh
Master of Professional Accounting, full 2 yearsKaplan Business SchoolAUD 36,800, about Rs. 24.8 lakh
Master of Business Accounting, per yearVictoria UniversityAUD 20,000, about Rs. 13.4 lakh

Key Points Before You Apply

  • Keep your Rs. 30 lakh designated for tuition alone, since living cost proof of AUD 29,710 a year is checked separately
  • Confirm the course is accredited by CPA Australia or CA ANZ before enrolling, since this matters for your PR pathway later
  • A 1 year fast track diploma cuts your total spend roughly in half compared to a full 2 year masters

My Advice

If permanent residency through accounting is your end goal, confirm CPA Australia accreditation before you sign up for any course, then choose the Kaplan or Charles Sturt route if you want to stretch your Rs. 30 lakh across the fewest possible years.
