Settlement for student+PSW

[bethnalblue]

I had enetred the UK first time in 2004 as a student and since then I have been extending my visa as a student. I completed my studies (MBA) in May 2010 and had to wait for degree to be awarded. I had to leave the UK as I was not able to apply for PSW without degree. Now that I have recieved my PSW visa, I will return to the UK next week. I have been out of UK for a total period of 176 days (below 6 months). Will I qualify in future for ILR even though I was not in the UK for 176 days and does PSW count towards ILR?

Please help me and thanks to all of you.
