Tips and Tricks for Indian Students

• Application Boost: Submit via the official portal (no UCAS for PG)—tailor your personal statement to link your Indian healthcare experience (e.g., from AIIMS or private hospitals) to global trends. If work experience is light, volunteer with NGOs like Smile Foundation to strengthen it.
• Visa Essentials (Student Visa): After offer, get CAS; book TB test at IOM clinics in India immediately. Show funds via education loan (SBI offers UK-specific at 9-10% interest). For interview: Emphasize return plans (e.g., managing Indian health startups). Processing: 3 weeks; opt for priority (£500) if near deadline.
• Funding Hacks: Combine university scholarships with Indian schemes like Dr. Ambedkar Overseas Scholarship (for SC/ST) or Padho Pardesh (interest subsidy). Part-time work (20 hrs/week) in London—aim for £10-15/hr roles in care homes or admin to offset £15,000+ annual living costs.
• Prep and Arrival: Budget ₹40-45 lakh total (including living). Use apps like Splitwise for shared housing (£600-800/month in East London). Join Coventry's Indian Society for Holi/Diwali support. If IELTS is borderline, take Coventry's English test as an alternative.
• Avoid Pitfalls: Attest docs via university/ECA early. Track Brexit-free visa rules—no ATAS needed for this course. Post-study: Apply for 2-year Graduate Route visa for UK work experience before returning to India's growing med-tech sector.
