Indian students see record entries to UK universities as travel rules ease up – Education News
The National Indian Students and Alumni Union (NISAU) UK universities had been raising the plight of Indian students facing additional compulsory hotel quarantine costs of 1,750 pounds under the Red List.
A record number of 3,200 students from India have been accepted onto UK university and higher education courses through the country’s centralised application system in 2021, marking an increase of 19 per cent over the previous year.
The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) acceptance figures, released on Tuesday, come days after India moved off the Red List COVID-19 travel ban to Amber.
This would greatly impact Indian students planning to travel to Britain to take up their courses as they no longer need to quarantine in a government-managed facility for 10 days at considerable additional cost.Instead, they can quarantine for the required 10 days at a chosen destination, which for many will be their university accommodation, or a friend or family home address.
