Odisha's Ukraine returned MBBS students met Education Minister

Around 100 Odisha medical students who have returned from the war-hit country Ukraine met the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan during his visit to the Capital City on Saturday and submitted a memorandum to him seeking admission to Indian medical colleges.

“The quality of medical education in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan is not good. In the European countries, we will again have to learn the local language and affording the medical fees is next to impossible now having already spent a lot of money in Ukraine,” the students said in the memorandum, as reported by Indian Express.

So far, Ukraine returned MBBS students who have graduated from medical colleges in Ukraine are allowed to complete their internship in India provided they clear the Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE).
