According to the UK government's release: The Bachelor's degree holder will be able to work for a maximum period of two years. While for doctoral students, the time frame is three years. The route will absolutely be unsponsored; even students without a job offer are eligible to apply. The candidates will also be allowed to apply for jobs in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Speaking about the new route, Alex Ellis, British High Commissioner to India, said: "The flow of students between India and the UK makes the human connection between our countries – the 'living bridge' – ever stronger. I'm delighted that increasing numbers of talented Indian students are choosing the UK to study, and even more so that the Graduate route will allow them to work in the UK after their studies. Their presence in the heart of the new partnership between India and the UK."
