In an important move, which is not likely to go down well with the Indian students studying in the UK, Students from India, who go to the UK for higher study purposes, will be denied the permission to live in the country, for work purposes, after their education course, for which they may have arrived in the country, ends. This fresh ruling, made public before, has become effective now.
The repercussions of the development are already there for all to see. Reportedly, the number of immigration applications filed from India, for the various available university courses in Britain starting in September 2012, has already witnessed a significant decrease. That this development would trigger an additional decrease cannot be ruled out.
The government before had allowed the students from abroad to duly apply for employment for not less than two years - with the only key condition being that they pay a visa fee of £500. In view of the prevailing high levels of unemployment plaguing the country, this is being done away with.
But everything is still not lost for the Indian students. Entrepreneur graduates could still find work in Britain. Besides, though the overseas students may no longer work for two years in the country, after concluding their education, according to the Home Ministry of Britain, other avenues still exist for them.
A case in point is the path still available under the Tier-II for the trained workers, who have sponsorship from a British job-provider. Graduate entrepreneur scheme for those with a nice business map is yet another path still open for the students from India. Meanwhile, a concerned person from the UK Immigration reportedly said that London is keen to inspire the very best and the most brilliant talents.
Via the Tier-I (post-study work) path, Indian and other students from the non-EU nations were in a position to work for a maximum of two years in Britain after finishing-off their university courses. For the self-funding students from India, this was something to look forward to even as it permitted them to return a section of the loan they may have taken to turn-up in the UK, for study purposes. That the accompanying experience also boosted their job prospects back home was yet another incentive for them.
Coming back to the ruling, hurdles have also been put in the way to allegedly prevent the bogus students from turning up on the British soils. Simultaneously, fly-by-night or fake colleges have been prevented from giving admission to the overseas students. Talking about the move, an involved person was quoted as saying that the earlier system was rather liberal. With there being hardly any curbs, it was being misused, and many individuals did low-skill jobs.
The immigration minister of the nation seemed to conclude the issue when he reportedly observed that there is hardly any clash between financial development and managing immigration as the improved immigration system of the country may get both.
