Demand for UK educational institutions among Indian students is still high. The latest trend shows an increase in the number of students who opted for UK universities and colleges over domestic ones. Despite lockdowns and many other situations arising out of the Covid-19 pandemic, the United Kingdom (UK) university and college courses are still popular among Indian students.

According to Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), there has been a 19 per cent increase in enrolment of students from India in UK universities in 2021 marking the number at 3,200.

Some students who were sitting over the fence whether to go for the UK or not have also opted for the UK institutions after India was put in the Amber list from the Red list by the UK Government.
