We haven't confirmed this year's application window, and these dates move every cycle — so we won't print one. The official page is the only reliable source. Ask us and we'll track it for you and tell you when it opens.
Eligibility
Three requirements beyond citizenship of an eligible country, which India is. First, 2,800 hours of work experience gained AFTER your undergraduate degree — roughly two years at 35 hours a week — counted broadly: full-time and part-time employment, voluntary work, paid and unpaid internships, freelancing and self-employment all qualify. It normally has to be spread over at least two years, though 2,800 hours reached in less than two still counts. Second, you must apply to three different eligible UK master's courses and hold an unconditional offer from at least one by the deadline. Third, you commit to returning to India for at least two years afterwards.
Apply directly to Chevening online — there is no nominating body and no Indian agency in between. Applications for the 2027/28 cycle close at 11:00 UTC on 6 October 2026. You need three university choices and your references by the later deadlines Chevening publishes, so a missing reference does not stop you submitting. We help you shape the four essays and the course choices — free.
Tuition + stipend + travel/other allowances. Confirm the current value on the official page before you apply.
