Indian students will be able to work 20 hrs/week in UK soon

Britain has come out with new immigration rules and one of them reads that now Indian students visiting to study will be allowed to work for 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during holidays.

Under-graduate and post-graduate students throng UK to study with an aim to work as well.

"From September, students who come from India, both for UG and PG courses, will be allowed to work. We're only trying to curb students who continue studying vocational courses (just) to work in the UK,” a UK Visas and Immigration official told Times of India.

UK’s announcement relate to the Tier 4 type student visa. From August, new students at publicly funded colleges will be prevented from working.

TOI reported that the rules will also allow university students to study a new course at the same level, but only where there is a link to their previous course or the university confirms that this supports the student's career aspirations.
