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.
