Why indian students go to ukraine?

Answer # 1 #

As someone who researched this extensively for my own medical education, I can share several reasons why Indian students choose Ukraine:

Primary reason: Medical education - Ukraine has recognized medical universities with degrees valid in India (after passing the FMGE exam) - Lower costs compared to private medical colleges in India - Easier admission process - no extremely competitive entrance exams like NEET-UG for foreign nationals - English medium programs available

Other factors: - European education standards with MCI/NMC recognized institutions - Global exposure and opportunity to experience different culture - Pathway to practice in other countries after additional licensing exams - Large Indian student community already established there

Before the recent conflicts, Ukraine was particularly popular for MBBS programs. The combination of affordable tuition, recognized degrees, and less competitive admission made it an attractive alternative for students who couldn't secure seats in Indian government medical colleges.

Many students see it as a practical pathway to becoming doctors despite the challenges of returning to practice in India.

Having counseled many students about overseas education, I can provide some insights into the Ukraine trend:

The main draw is medical education, but there are other factors too:

  • Cost-effectiveness: Tuition + living expenses in Ukraine are significantly lower than in Indian private medical colleges or Western countries
  • Admission certainty: Students know they can secure admission if they meet basic requirements, unlike the uncertainty of Indian entrance exams
  • No donation/capitation fees that are common in Indian private colleges
  • Quality infrastructure in Ukrainian universities with modern facilities

The challenges students should consider: - Need to pass Foreign Medical Graduate Exam (FMGE) in India to practice - Language and cultural adjustments - Climate differences - Recent geopolitical instability

Many students view it as a calculated risk - they accept the challenges of returning to India for licensing in exchange for actually being able to study medicine, which might not be possible in India due to limited seats and high costs.

It's definitely a decision that requires careful research about both the benefits and the significant challenges involved.
