Which category you switched from ?
Did you attach business plan and market research documents ?
Did you mention your business details in your covering letter?
How many days you maintained the funds and which country and which bank?
Investment Funds verification details ?
Any dependents applied along with you ?

what do you mean how, it is specifically mentioned in the policy guidance that you can switch from student visa to tier 1 ent 200k.
Yes i applied incountry
I coppied this from Policy guidance:
22. If you are in the UK with permission to stay as:
• a Tier 4 migrant; • a Student nurse;
• a Student; • a Student writing up a thesis;
• a Student re-sitting an examination; • a Postgraduate Doctor or Dentist;
you are allowed to make an initial application in the UK (including switching from one immigration
category to another)

you are allowed to make an initial application in the UK (including switching from one immigration

£50,000 or more from:
i) one or more registered venture capital firms regulated by the Financial Services
Authority;
ii) one or more UK entrepreneurial seed funding competitions which is listed as endorsed
on the UK Trade & Investment website; or
iii) one or more UK Government Departments or Devolved Government Departments in
Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, which is made available by the Department(s) for the
specific purpose of establishing or expanding a UK business.
(This is also referred to as a section b funding in this document.) Students without this type of
funding are not permitted to switch into the Entrepreneur category in the UK.
