Chhattisgarh’s health minister has requested the Union government to allow Ukrainian medical students who are returning from war-hit Ukraine to enroll in Indian medical colleges. Singh Deo expressed concern about the future of these students, who have been barred from studying in India after clearing a test.
A large number of students from Chhattisgarh and other states who are pursuing medical courses there have been returning home and are worried over their further studies, Singh Deo said. “In view of the current situation, it is uncertain when normalcy will return to Ukraine,” he said.
Students who complete medical education in foreign countries undergo a test to qualify as doctor in India. Such a procedure should be adopted in the case of those who are returning from Ukraine with their education incomplete, Singh Deo said. Additional seats can be created in medical colleges to absorb the students who clear such a test, he said.
