UK applicants from Chandigarh
Chandigarh applicants are salaried: government officers, PGI doctors, IT staff in the Mohali campuses, and their children heading for UK master's degrees. Visitor files from here are refused less often than from the districts because the ties are on a salary slip, but the refusals that do come are on purpose: a vague itinerary or a sponsor whose own status in the UK is unclear. Chandigarh also produces the Graduate-route and High Potential Individual questions, from students already in the UK whose parents sit in Sector 15 asking what the 18-month term from 1 January 2027 means for a 2026 intake.
