Britain brings tough visa rule for Non-EU students

Britain introduced tougher targeted interview system for student VISA applicants from India and other non-EU countries to screen entry of students for education to the country. UK has taken this step to ensure genuine students benefit from Britain’s education sector. The new system will be active for a year, and focus on high-risk students in India and other non-EU countries. The move follows a study carried out in India, Pakistan and 11 other countries, which disclosed that some applicants could not answer basic questions in English without an interpreter, but had claimed in documents that they had the ability to study at UK universities.
