Close to a year after they fled war-torn Ukraine, some students have been given an opportunity to continue from where they left off, while others are figuring out other options or even changing their career paths altogether. Some students are even considering taking the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) again to secure admission in Indian universities.

For students who had paid their fees in Ukraine, access to online course material is available. However, universities have blocked sites for those international students who have not paid fees. The difficulty in obtaining transcripts from Ukrainian universities has caused delays in admissions to new countries.


As the Indian government was unable to provide workable answers, a few students returned to Ukraine. The National Medical Commission (NMC) did let returning Ukrainian medical students in their final year do their required internship in India. The majority of impacted students were able to enrol in Uzbek universities with the aid of education advisers, and 2000 seats were made available to relocated Indian medical students from Ukraine by the MHEIs of Uzbekistan's Health Ministry.

A six-year MD Diploma and a five-plus-year MBBS Degree with a one-year internship were offered to Indian students by Uzbekistan last year with assistance from the Indian Government. Affordably priced education would be made available, including the option to study and stay somewhere that serves Indian cuisine.


Parents and students have voiced their worries about the circumstance. Some students had to pay for consulting fees once more, but with the aid of agents, they were able to get the procedure done without incident. Rushil Mirzapure, a Nagpur native who had just finished his first year at Vinnytsia University, was said to have begun over in Uzbekistan by The Times of India. In Kyrgyzstan, Rajendra Patil from Raigad was successful in getting his kid accepted to a university. However, Pradeep Kanade, a father from Nerul, claimed that because no real solutions were provided by the government, their sons and daughters are still unsure of their career.
