Yes, your one or two years of work experience in India will be considered for master's applications in the UK. While most UK universities focus on academic qualifications, relevant work experience can strengthen your application - especially for professional or management-focused programs.

Work experience is not always mandatory, but it can give you an advantage, particularly if it aligns with your chosen field. Be sure to clearly highlight your experience in your application to maximize its impact.
