Many Indian students studying in Donbass, Ukraine get admission to Russian colleges
Over 800 Indian students, who were pursuing a higher degree in Donbass, Ukraine got admission to Russian colleges, said the Russian educational department.
While Indian medical students evacuated from Ukraine are still waiting to be accommodated in Indian medical colleges, the Russian educational department said that more than 800 Indian students who were studying for a higher degree in Donbass, Ukraine got admission to various Russian colleges since the onset of war.
Denis Ashirov, Director of the Department of State Youth Policy and Educational Activities, Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, said more than 1,500 Indian students have applied for admission and the government streamlined a hotline intending to provide help to the students.
"We have already enrolled about 829 such students in our universities, made a separate hotline for individual support of such students who now want to enter Russian universities from these territories," Ashirov said during the "round table" of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children, as reported by Republic World.
Russia offered help to Ukraine returned medicos in India
Last month, Russia’s deputy chief of mission to India Roman Babushkin said that the Russian universities can accommodate the Indian medicos returned from Ukraine if they wish so.
“Some medical students might have studied in Ukraine on a stipend or scholarship. Those students can avail the same stipend/scholarship in Russian universities. Some might have been studying in Ukraine universities by paying a fee of $4,000. But the average course fee in certain top-level universities in Russia would come to around $12,000. So, the students will be given admission in Russian universities that are on a par with those in Ukraine,” said Babushkin.
As far as medical students are concerned, these students and their parents are not very pleased with Russia's offer as Russia's medical degrees are not being accepted in the United States, United Kingdom and many other European countries. Also, the students want to continue their education in India only.
