With 18,095 Indian students studying in Ukrainian colleges before the onset of the crisis with Russia last week, they topped the list of international students in the country.
Media reports citing the Ukraine Ministry of Education and Science noted that the next highest number of students were from Morocco (8,832), followed by Turkmenistan (5,322) and Azerbaijan (4,628). There were about 4,055 Chinese students in Ukrainian universities.
The main factor that drew Indian students to Ukraine was the ease of admission and the relatively low-cost higher education. For example, medical degree courses cost less than 70 per cent of the prevailing rates in India.
A six-year medical degree costs between Rs1.5 million and Rs2 million in Ukraine, while in India a student will have to shell out Rs5 million to Rs15 million for a four-and-a-half-year course. Though the costs in government medical colleges in India are quite low, but the competition is stiff, and a fraction of the total number of students who apply for admission get into them.
A growing number of Indian students opt for medical education abroad, including in countries such as Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Russia. There has been a three-fold rise in the number of Indian students taking the Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE) over the last five years, enabling them to pursue an MBBS degree abroad and then get a licence to practice in India. However, the biggest surge was witnessed by the Philippines; there was a 10-fold rise in doctors who got their degrees from the Philippines.

Records of the National Board of Examinations reveal that students sitting for the FMGE shot up from 12,116 in 2015 to 35,774 in 2020. Demand for medical education is huge in India; during the five-year period, an additional 30,000 medical were added within the country.
