The UK Home Office has confirmed that the Graduate Route Visa will remain available for international students completing degrees in the UK. This is significant news for Indian students planning to study in Britain.

What the Visa Offers

  • Bachelor's/Master's graduates: 2 years to work or look for work
  • PhD graduates: 3 years post-study work rights
  • No minimum salary requirement during the Graduate Route period
  • Can switch to Skilled Worker Visa from within the UK

Why This Matters for Indian Students

Over 1.4 lakh Indian students enrolled in UK universities in 2024. The Graduate Route remains one of the most flexible post-study work visas globally, making the UK a top destination despite recent visa changes.
