Hi Nandida, by taking a university foundation year, you need to study just 1 year before entering university. The choice of universities is limited, but your university place is guaranteed as long as you passed the foundation year.
By taking the sixth form, you will need to study about 2 years before you are eligible to enter university. You will have more choice of universities, but it will be quite competitive for the university’s place.

Hii
Please tell me about scholarship for Indian 10th passed student which London university offers
A fully funded scholarship
And ca we go by education loan
And I want to go there for 3 to 4 years

Hi Pradnya,
Unfortunately, none of UK universities offers full scholarships for international students at this moment.
International students can take an education loan to found their studies in the UK, the loan normally should be applied from their home country.
Not fully funded but partially
Or some amount
Are there any scholarships?
Hi Pradnya,
The scholarships vary depending on individual universities, programmes, entry year and many other factors. Most of them are merit-based scholarships.
The scholarships available for international students are normally with strict eligibility criteria and majority for postgraduate level and above.
For university foundation year or undergraduate level, the most common scholarships are from £1,000 to £5,000.

Hello,
I am studying in 10th standard and next year, I’ll be giving the 10th board exams. I want to study in England after my 10th.
So, I came across your website and it comes out to be very helpful. But, I want to know all the requirements in deep. Like, I am below 16 so, I would not be able to give IELTS exam. So, if I give TOEFL exam then the college would accept me and first, I want to enroll into foundation year. Please tell me some colleges or universities for which I could be eligible. I hope you will answer soon.
Thanks
Hi Sandy,
A sufficient TOEFL result is good for show colleges or universities you have met their language requirement. But you will still need to provide sufficient IELTS for UKVI result for student visa purpose if you want to take university foundation programs (study in the UK after the 10th).

Hi Remya Jibin
It depends on your son’s current academic circumstances such as what curriculum he is currently taking, and which curriculum suits him the best.
as he is a UK citizen, coming to the UK he can be enrolled in a public school and most probably will be taking General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) for his secondary education. This is quite different from the CBSE or ICSE or State Board Qualifications.
Seeking option to get admission for my son after 10th which will be completed by May 21.
Pls suggest shall he get addmission complete his graduation in uk and work over there shall he get PR
