No Indian students do not need private medical insurance to study in UK assuming duration of their course is 6 months+ and they hold UK student visa.

Students needing UK study visa for higher education in country are required to pay mandatory fee worth GBP 776 per year, in the form of Immigration Health Surcharge or IHS. This gives students, access to the UK's National Health Service (NHS), which takes care of all emergency medical needs. 

Students are advised to register with a General Practitoner or GP, upon arrival in the UK, which deals with most general health problems.

International students can work upto 20 hours per week during studies. There is no limit on the working hours during semester breaks or vacations.

UK has very strict rules when it comes to work hours for international students. It is  advised not to exceed the work hour limit. This can lead to the revokation of the UK study visa and subsequently, deportation from the country.

The recommender must mention at least three qualities of the applicant and then provide a suitable example for each quality to convince the admissions committee. Mentioning a lot of qualities without substantiating them with examples will not sound strong/ convincing.

Generally, the number of required LORs for UK universities vary from 1 to 2. This choice is specifically defined by each university for their esteemed courses. Hence, Indian students must check the strict requirements of the course they ae going to apply for. For instance, the University of Cambridge requires 1 LOR and the University of Oxford asks for two.

The LOR format for UK is no different from those for US or any other country. The LOR should be one page or approximately 500 words in length. The font and size should be consistent and readable, for instance, Times New Roman 11 or 12 point size. The LOR can be academic or professional, showcasing the eligibility of the candidate.

The recommender must establish his association with the candidate right in the beginning of the LOR and later discuss at least three qualities of the applicant and provide suitable examples to back his claims.
