Masters for 2nd extension?

[MJNair]

I arrived in the UK 1 month from my HSMP visa start date. I just got an extension for 3 years on Tier 1. This still makes me 1 month short of the 5 year ILR/Temp Citizenship requirement. Even if I consider the 5 years minus 28 days rule for ILR eligibility I am still 3 days short.

I only have a Bachelors degree. My original HSMP & recent Tier 1 extension is based on the Bachelors degree. So when I go for my 2nd extension to cover the 3 days, would I need to have a Masters by then provided the rules do not undergo another major overhaul?

I am guessing that I wouldn't have to have a Masters since my previous grant to stay would be based on Bachelors.

Please let me know what you think.

Yes that's correct. You don;t need to have masters degree for extension if you were granted initial visa on bachelors degree.
