Through a ballot system, the United Kingdom is providing 3,000 visas to Indian citizens as part of its India Young Professionals Scheme. Candidates will have two days to apply under the ballot system. The voting period will run from February 20, 2024, at 2:30 p.m. India Standard Time (IST), to February 22, 2024, at 2:30 p.m. IST. Notably, there is no cost to cast a ballot.
The information regarding the first ballot was released by the British High Commission in India’s official X account (which was formerly Twitter)

Those who successfully apply will have 90 days from the email date to apply for the visa online. Applicants must submit their biometrics and pay the visa application fee, which includes the immigration health surcharge, in order to be considered for the visa. The visa will set you back £298.
