The Visa norms have become much stricter now. One of the major factors is when was the last time you traveled to UK since they verify your biometrics if you have not been there in the past 5 years. The whole thing can take a month for even tourist visas now and things might be more hectic because of the Olympics.
Anyway I am in a similar situation and I feel it would be better to get selected and start two weeks late than get dinged now.

Hi All! Is it possible for an Indian applicant to secure a visa and start the session on time if admission is confirmed on July 4th?
I worked in UK some 6 years back. Back then, it used to take 2 weeks for a work permit to UK. I think student visa should be even easier. Though the rules have changed, it shouldn't be that tough.
