PTE Academic, the computer-based test of English proficiency for immigration and study abroad, has partnered with James Cook University, Brisbane, second oldest university in Queensland and Australia’s leading university in the tropics, to provide scholarship for the test takers who score 64 on PTE Academic. The scholarship of AUD $13000 will help the students achieve their academic aspirations to study in Australia. 

 

Vikas Singh, Managing Director, Pearson India, said, “With PTE Academic, we not only provide the learners with the test they need, we provide resources to maximize their chance of success. The scholarship program of JCU, Brisbane, which starts from January 2018, will support the students and learners to get access to education in Australia and live their dreams.”

 

Globally, PTE Academic is accepted by thousands of academic programmes in the USA, UK, Canada, Singapore, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. PTE Academic scores are accepted when applying to migrate to Australia and New Zealand. Most recently it was accepted by Engineers Australia for migration skills assessment purposes.

 

Shrikant Deshmukh, Director - International Marketing, James Cook University, said, "The reasoning for rewarding high English score achievers - it mainly enables students to grasp the lectures much better, equips them with skills required to achieve a high mark in their assignments and makes them more likely to succeed in finding employment in an English-speaking environment."

 

PTE Academic is gaining immense popularity with the Indian students for being a computer based test which gives 100 % accurate and impartial scoring compared to the human judgement. To ensure test score validity all test centers use state-of-the-art digital biometrics incorporating palm-scanning, digital signatures, secure paperless results, randomized test formats and CCTV.
