2400 UK visas for Indians available under Young Professionals scheme

Last Tuesday, the UK Government invited 2,400 visa applications for Indians under the UK-India Young Professionals Scheme. Under the scheme, Indian citizens between 18 and 30 years old can live and work in the UK for up to two years.
An India Young Professionals Scheme visa allows Indian citizens between 18 and 30 years old to live and work in the UK for up to 2 years. A candidate must be selected in the India Young Professionals Scheme ballot before they can apply for this visa. To enter the ballot they must declare that they’re eligible for the visa.
To be eligible for the visa, a candidate must be an Indian citizen, be between 18 and 30 years old, have an eligible qualification and have £2,530 in savings. There is an Indian Young Professionals Scheme ballot system under which there are 2,400 visas available in the February ballot. The results of the ballot are final. One cannot appeal if they are unsuccessful.
The successful candidate will need to apply for their visa by the deadline given in the invitation to apply. This is usually 30 days after you get the invitation. He or she must travel to the UK within 6 months of applying for your visa. After applying online, proving identity and providing documents, the candidate usually gets a decision on their visa within 3 weeks.
Every successful candidate will need to pay the application fee of £259, pay a healthcare surcharge of £940, and prove that they have £2,530 in personal savings. The application fee will not be refunded if the application is rejected. Candidates will be given a visa to live and work in the UK for up to 24 months.
If a candidate turns 31 after their visa is issued, then they can stay in the UK for as long as the visa is valid.
Successful candidates can: study - for some courses you’ll need an Academic Technology Approval Scheme certificate, work in most jobs, be self-employed and set up a company - as long as your premises are rented, your equipment is not worth more than £5,000 and you do not have any employees. They cannot, extend their stay, apply for most benefits (public funds), or include family members on the application - they must apply separately and work as a professional sportsperson (for example as a coach).
Eligibility can be checked on the UK government website.
