After over half a year of turmoil, Indian students who returned from the war-afflicted Ukraine are still finding it difficult to return to their studies. However, many Russian universities have stepped up and offered assistance in this regard.
Previously, the NMC announced that the Ukraine-returned Indian medical students can complete their studies from foreign universities, except at medical colleges in India. With nearly 20,000 students uncertain about their future, Russian universities have been coming forward with options for the students to choose from.
The Russian House in the capital organised the Russian Education Fair 2022, with a help desk and stall set up to offer counselling services to the Ukraine-returned Indian students.
