The UK Graduate Route allows international students to stay and work (or look for work) for 2 years after graduation (3 years for PhD holders). This is your window to secure a Skilled Worker visa sponsorship. Indian students in STEM, finance, and consulting have the strongest chances of finding sponsored roles within this period.
