Indian students who had to leave Ukraine because of the Russia-Ukraine war, have been offered to study in Russia and continue their education.
Russian Consul General, Oleg Avdeev in Chennai said, "Indian students who left Ukraine can continue their education in Russia as the medical syllabus is almost the same (as Ukraine). They know the language of the people, as, in Ukraine, most of them speak Russian. They're most welcome in Russia".
He also said, "As far as students are concerned, students keep going to Russia for studies. It is an upward trend. More and more students are applying for scholarships in Russia."
The Supreme Court was informed about Indian students pursuing MBBS in Ukraine and how their studies were disrupted because of subsequent evacuation, and therefore, they would not be admitted to medical colleges in India as that would mean giving seats to students who are less deserving.
The Indian government has only allowed last year's medical students to appear in Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE).
After the medical colleges denied admission to other students, Russia offered to let them continue their education in their country.
