Advisory for
Indian Students
Ministry of External Affairs
[Eurasia Division]
Advisory for Indian nationals going for studies to
Eurasia
It has come to the notice of the Ministry
that a number of Indian students are either pursuing or
planning to take up a range of short-term [upto three
years or less] courses, including medical courses, at
various Universities/Institutes in some countries of the
Eurasia/CIS Region. (This region includes Russia,
Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and
Georgia). Some of the Universities/Institutions are
located in places with fragile law and order situations,
instability or conditions generally not conducive for
the pursuit of educational courses by foreign students.
Further, the degrees/certificates awarded by some of
these Universities/Institutions are still not recognized
outside these regions.
2. Indian students who are planning to pursue
courses in the CIS/Eurasia region are, therefore,
advised to satisfy themselves about physical safety and
living conditions, standards of education, recognition
of degrees/certificates, general credentials of the
educational institutions offering these courses, and
finally the prevailing atmosphere at those
Universities/Institutions in question.
3. Students planning to pursue higher studies in
the CIS/ Eurasia Region may also note that this region
is separate from the Euro/Schengen Zone and hence travel
to Western Europe from this region requires requisite
visas and permits.
