With war situation on the ebb, Russian universities invite students
The number of Indian students, particularly South Indians, applying for Russian universities has significantly increased, said Natalia Alshuk, Head of International Relations Department, Volgograd State Medical University.
Addressing a press meet organised by Russian House along with Study Aboard educational consultancy firm, she said that with the war situation having deescalated in Russia, students from foreign countries would not face problem studying there.
When asked how many of the Indian students who studied there gott through the Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG) examination, an eligibility test for medical students who studied abroad to practice in India, she said that it was 22%.
C. Suresh Babu of Study Abroad said that though those students admitted in Russian medical colleges through their consultancy failed to clear the FMG examination in their first attempt, they eventually clear it in their second or third attempts.
Amongst medical colleges in other countries, the Russian universities which adhere to National Medical Commission (NMC)'s guidelines, was preferred by many Indian students, he said.
