Ukrainian Varsities, Ukraine Returnees News: Ukrainian varsities ask Indians to return or join transfer programmes
Ukraine Returnees Students: Some universities, which are in the worst-hit war zones with considerable damage to their facilities, are taking up the last option — asking students to take up “mobility” or transfer programmes.
Ukraine Returnees News: Authorities from Ukrainian universities want Indian students to resume classes, asking them to either return to campus despite risks, temporarily join online classes or enrol through varsities in other countries.
Some universities, which are in the worst-hit war zones with considerable damage to their facilities, are taking up the last option — asking students to take up “mobility” or transfer programmes. The Ukrainian universities have tied up with certain institutes in the rest of Europe where they will continue to study as their exchange students.
As the next semester for most Ukrainian universities begins on September 1, students have been given until next week to clear the fees and make a decision. Some universities have also told students that they wrote to the National Medical Council (NCM) in India as well as the Indian embassy in Ukraine. These universities said they did not get clarity from them on the decision for Ukraine-returned medical students or the validity of continuing online classes.
Dr Audhoot Nidgude, a representative of MD House in Maharashtra, said options for continuing online classes or mobility to other countries were being considered, but didn’t give any further detail. MD House is an agency that recruits students for the Bokovinian State Medical University (BSMU) in Chernivtsi, which has over 1,800 Indian students.
However, a few students of BSMU shared a letter with The Indian Express which said the university is resuming classes in offline mode for those who can come to Ukraine while online mode will be offered to those who can’t go back at the moment.
