RMIT University

International students need to follow a process to submit an RMIT application. This requires them to meet the eligibility requirements,  collect all the required documents, make copies of those documents and form an account on RMIT International student admission portal and submit it along with application fee of AUD 100 (INR 5.9K). 

Once an international student receives a conditional offer or an unconditional one from university the students are required to apply for an Australian student visa. 

Once an application is submitted to RMIT University, the processing takes about 2 to 4 weeks. The applicant should keep checking emails and the RMIT official website for regular updates. If all the RMIT eligibility requirements are met, the student will receive a conditional or an unconditional offer letter within the period mentioned. 

After receiving the offer letter, the applicant is required to accept it and pay the tuition fee to secure the spot within the given time. This process is then followed by applying for an Australian student visa.
