Announcing details of tighter rules for international students from India and elsewhere, Britain on Wednesday said bogus students would find it difficult to gain entry and work here illegally.

Unveiling details of the points system for those wishing to earn British Citizenship from next year, Home Secretary Alan Johnson said genuine students would continue to be welcome in the country.

The details announced today comes days after Britain suspended issuing student visas in north India, Bangladesh and Nepal, suspecting large scale irregularities.

Earlier on Sunday, Johnson had announced tightening of the British student visa regime.
