No, the UK government does not offer student loans to Indian students. UK government loans are typically only for UK nationals or those with settled status.

The Indian government does offer education loans for studying abroad, mainly for students with a family income below ₹6 lakh/year. Some schemes, like the Dr. Ambedkar Central Sector Scheme, cover full tuition for eligible OBC students with a family income cap of ₹3 lakh/year. State governments may also have subsidized loan options, such as Gujarat's scheme offering up to ₹15 lakh at 4% interest.

Loan eligibility, amount, and interest rates are subject to change.
