Confirmed.
Australia reclassified India (along with Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan) to Evidence Level 3 (highest risk) for student visas under the Simplified Student Visa Framework, effective January 8, 2026.
Reason: Emerging integrity risks, including fraudulent documents and non-genuine enrolments.
This means stricter scrutiny, more documentation, longer processing times, and higher refusal risk for applicants from these countries. Genuine students remain eligible but face tougher requirements.

Not sure if this counts for a fart in a colander, but it's something at least.
