Under the Credit-Transfer-Benefit-Scheme, the students will study 1 or 2 years of their degree at Chandigarh University and finally will be able to continue their remaining tenure of the degree at Australian University."

"The first benefit of the Articulation programs offered at Chandigarh University is that the Indian Students do not have to drop-out an academic year due to pandemic crisis and secondly the students will be able to save themselves from paying the hefty Australian fees for the duration (1 or 2 years) they will be studying at Chandigarh University & also save the living expenses which they would have to shell out while staying in Australia," added Pro-Chancellor.

He further added that, "The students who will be joining the articulation programs of Australian Universities at Chandigarh University can avail other benefits like Scholarships offered by Australian Universities, Concessions in Accommodation Fees, Some Relaxations in ILETS Score besides the students will also be entitled for all other benefits offered by Australian Government to the Indian Students like Work Permits after completion of degree and others."
