UK Graduate Route Changes: What Indian Students Need to Know

The UK government has confirmed changes to the Graduate Route visa that will affect international students graduating from UK universities. Starting January 2027, the duration of the Graduate Route will be reduced from 2 years to 18 months for non-PhD graduates. However, students who apply before December 31, 2026, will still receive the full 2-year post-study work visa. PhD graduates will continue to receive 3 years under the Graduate Route. For Indian students planning to study in the UK, this creates an urgency to apply for the September 2026 intake. The UK remains one of the most popular destinations due to its 1-year Master's programs, world-class universities, and direct post-study work opportunities. NK Education advises all prospective UK students to begin their applications immediately. Our team can help with university shortlisting, application preparation, and visa filing.
