During the UK university application call, will they ask about previous visa refusals and how should one respond?

No, UK universities usually do not ask about previous visa refusals during the admission application process. Their main focus is on your academic background and program suitability.
However, you must disclose any past visa refusals when applying for a UK student visa. Not declaring this can lead to your visa being refused for deception.
If you have had a previous visa refusal, be honest and briefly explain the situation and how you have addressed any issues. This shows transparency and intent to comply with UK rules.
