Indian students must apply for entry clearance before travelling to UK for higher studies. The entry clearance should normally be valid for the whole length of your course plus few more months. When you arrive in the UK, the Immigration Officer at the port of entry (e.g. Heathrow airport or Gatwick) will put a date stamp in your passport to show when you entered the UK. Your permission to be in the UK begins on that date and expires on the date indicated on the entry clearance.
Student visas can be obtained from the offices of the British High Commission located in the major cities of India. (Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata). Students need to prove that they have an offer acceptance from the University and have sufficient funds to cover the entire cost of studying and living in Britain.
