Pathway overview
For young, degree-holding Indian nationals selected in the annual India Young Professionals Scheme ballot, to live and work in the UK for up to 2 years.
Verified directly from GOV.UK: you must be an Indian national, aged 18 to 30, hold a bachelor's degree or above (from the UK or an equivalent overseas qualification), have no dependent children who live with you or who you're financially responsible for, and have had at least £2,530 available in your bank account for 28 consecutive days. You cannot apply if you've already been in the UK under this scheme or the Youth Mobility Scheme. IMPORTANT: this route requires being selected in a real annual ballot before you can apply — meeting every requirement checked here only makes you eligible to enter that ballot; selection is not guaranteed.
