A UK government report suggests continuing the Graduate Route visa program, largely utilized by Indian graduates, to support UK universities financially and attract top international talent. The program, introduced in 2021, allows graduates to stay for up to two years (three for PhDs) post-study. Despite initial concerns over its review, the report underscores its benefits in boosting UK's research opportunities. Indian nationals lead in visa uptake, comprising over 40% of applicants. The review aims to ensure visa holders contribute to the UK economy, amidst advocacy by Indian student groups for its continuation to maintain UK's attractiveness as a study destination.
