Quarterly information on the total number of Tier 4 (General) student visas refused is published in Visa table vi_01_q, and the total number of Indian nationals refused a visa (all categories) in table vi_02_q. The latest data are in the Home Office’s ‘Immigration Statistics, October - December 2016’, (Visa data tables volume1) available from the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-october-to-december-2016/list-of-tables#visas
