What is not in the total

  • Travel to the VFS centre for biometrics (Chandigarh or Jalandhar for most of Punjab), the TB test where the route needs one, and the SELT test fee where English is tested.
  • Priority or super priority, chosen at the VFS appointment; the fee is per applicant and non-refundable.
  • Flights, insurance and the first month of living costs, which are yours to budget but not part of the application.

Related questions

Is IIT or IIM on the list?

No. The list takes universities ranked in the top 50 of at least two global rankings, and no Indian institution has qualified so far. Check the list for your award year on gov.uk.

Can I apply from India?

Yes, this is an entry clearance route. It is simple enough that most applicants file it themselves, so we provide information rather than a service.

Does it lead to settlement?

No. The 2 or 3 years do not count, and it cannot be extended. People usually switch to a sponsored route from inside the UK.
