Is 60 points sufficient to get Australia 190 Visa?

A point based immigration system is followed by the immigration department to migrate the potential applicants. As your eligibility is solely based on the immigration points, I would say, the Australia pass point is more important.

To be able to apply for Australia PR, an applicant must score at least 65 points on the point assessment grid. The points are calculated for age, educational qualification, work experience, skills, language ability and other factors.
