During the Virtual Fair,
prospective students will be able to consult with representatives of 42 UK universities,
including 12 prestigious Russell
Group establishments. The Fair will also provide attendees an interface
with UK Visas and Immigration
(UKVI) officers, to clarify any doubts about the current process
for obtaining a student visa. Officials will also conduct a session on
post-study work opportunities and the Graduate Route, which allows UK graduates to work or look for
work after their studies for a maximum period of two years.
Debanjan
Chakrabarti, Director East and Northeast India, British Council, said, “We are committed to supporting Indian students in
planning their path of pursuing a world-class education in the UK. Our Study UK
Virtual Fair provides prospective students and their parents, direct access to
UK university representatives and seminars on Graduate Route, visa policies,
and scholarship opportunities. Every year, our Fairs attract thousands of
students, parents, counsellors and consultants. This time too, the response has
been overwhelming, and we look forward to engaging with the attendees.”
The UK
continues to be one of the most coveted foreign education destinations for
Indians with over 56,000 Tier 4
study visas issued in the
year ending March 2021, as per data by the UK Home Office, indicating a
13% rise over the previous year. Moreover, the 96% visa issue rate for
Indian students is well above the global average.
