How many years of study gap is accepted in UK for Indian students?
Most universities have different requirements for study gap. Some are strict while others are flexible. Gaps do affect your candidature but it can be backed up by the strong profile and personal statement/Statement of Purpose. You need to explain the reason for your gap. If you had any medical issues you can provide medical certificate along with other documents.
Generally, gap of 2 years is acceptable for undergraduate courses and 5 years for postgraduate courses but more than 5 years of gap is acceptable if you have been constantly working or engage in some other activity. We have seen that the universities accept anyone with a genuine intention to study regardless of educational gap.
