 Study in the UK without IELTS? and how coronavirus will impact?

one question That recently has started to spark among students is studying in the UK without IELTS and its very obvious as well, the recent amendments made before coronavirus by the Uk government has given a spark to this question.

Every student looking for overseas education knows that he will be needing proficient skills in English if he or she wishes to study in an English-speaking country and IELTS is the test which many students must take before applying for overseas education.

IELTS is no more a mandatory requirement for a UK student visa.?

Yes now the UK government has removed IELTS as a mandated requirement from the visa checklist and has given complete discretion to universities and let them decide what are their admission requirements and given complete discretion to universities and let them decide which student is eligible to study in the UK and who is not.

So as the government has removed English as the visa requirement so it does not influence the visa decision of the consulate.

Although the British government has waived off the IELTS requirement it's very obvious that anyone coming to the UK for education will take classes in English so the universities have their own criteria for eligibility assessment.

Questions may vary depending on the profile of the student as each profile is unique so you must prepare accordingly as one student may have opted for studying engineering in graduation and he was a student of Physics, chemistry, and maths in his 12th class, whereas next student wants to study business after mathematics in class 12th so the person next to the student may ask him about program choice, and others may be asked about his financial like who is supporting you financially.

visa and post visa questions don't end easily.

Post-study work visa rules and regulations?

years of strict immigration rule and still it was a great disappointment for the united kingdom economy as 50% of students all over the world stopped opting for the UK which resulted in huge losses so they amended the laws and once again welcomes students from all over the world and offering 2 years of post-study work permit who will be completing their education after the year 2020.

hope fully the UK government will amend their strict laws for permanent residency and citizen as well.
