Dear All,
Please read the below link where it indicates IGS will be count as 5 years Clock.


If you have been in the United Kingdom for five years or more under one of these categories you may be able to apply for permanent residence (settlement) in the United Kingdom. You should read the pages relating to your current immigration category for more information.


Highly Skilled Migrant Programme

Business persons

Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland

Innovators

International Graduates Scheme

Investors

Writers, composers and artists

Are you sure?
Settlement
This section explains how the time you spend in the post-study worker category does not count towards the period you need to spend in the United Kingdom before being eligible to live permanently in the United Kingdom (known as 'settlement' or 'indefinite leave to remain').

Your leave in the post-study worker category does not allow you to apply to live permanently in the United Kingdom.
The previous IGS and Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland schemes also did not count towards settlement.

It also says:

As pointed by sakura, PSW/IGW/WISS period wont count towards your ILR
