Why does the UK exclude India from relaxed student visa rules? 

The UK government has periodically reviewed and adjusted its immigration policies, including student visa rules, based on various factors, such as diplomatic relations, immigration trends and national security concerns. The UK implemented more relaxed student visa rules for citizens of 25 countries in 2018, with an aim to make it easier for international students to come to the UK. These policies are typically the result of bilateral agreements, historical ties or the UK government's assessment of immigration risk.

It's important to note that immigration policies are subject to change and the exclusion of India from certain relaxed student visa rules at a specific time does not necessarily reflect a permanent policy. The UK may review and update its policies in the future.
