Over 30,000 Indian students receive UK study visa

New Delhi : Over 30,000 Indian students received a General Student visa to the UK for the year ending September 2019 -- up from almost 19,000 the previous year, marking a 63 per cent increase year on year, a statement said.

In the last decade, more than 270,000 Indian students have benefited from the UK's world leading education.

The UK is home to three of the world's top 10 universities.

Over 1,400 walk-ins were recorded during the recent Study UK Fair in New Delhi, which gave students an opportunity to interact with representatives from over 50 UK universities, a statement from the UK High Commission said.

The UK remains a popular destination for Indian holiday makers too.
