It permits students to stay in the UK for at least two years after completing their degree

The Graduate visa lasts for two years, while PhD or other doctoral candidates have three years to stay in the country

The UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had earlier expressed his desire of amending the Graduate Route Visa

Any kind of amendment or policy change in the visa would have limited the entry of Indian students in the country

The stricter visa guidelines that were carried out recently resulted in a decline in the number of international students in the UK

Experts say that this decline will financially affect UK universities, as they rely heavily on global students

International students in the UK are not only integral to the academic landscape but also contribute dynamism and diversity to the system
