About 200 Indian students who went to the Russian State University in Bashkir to study medicine are now returning to India with broken dreams and their possibilities limited. Mass expulsion of universities that quote problems such as participation and pending subjects are powered by “financial greed”, students and parents said.
The university announcement, written in Russian 9 June, states that foreign students will not be able to appear on rehearsals due to “failure to meet their obligations to conscientiously manage the educational program and complete the curriculum”. It mentions 234 names during five years of medical course, most of which are Indian students.
The Association of All Foreign Medical Graduates (AFA) in X stated that the university “deliberately excludes” Indian students, especially students in the second and third years, knowing that according to the National Medical Commission (NMC) instructions (NMC) cannot be transferred to other universities.
A third year student originally from Maharaštra, who flies to India on Saturday (July 5, 2025), said on the condition of anonymity: “Now I return to India because I have no other option.
The student added: “We are now asked to accept the first year. We have already spent the lakhs rupees and we cannot give up.
NMC orders that Indian students complete their entire medical education, training and internship at the same foreign institution where they started. The student said that the university “focuses on Indians to use it”.
Expulsion notice
The student said his reason for participation was “low participation”, even after reporting that the university was returning to India because of family need.
Another student said, “Although I had real reasons for the missing several lectures – visa processes, medical meetings – I assured myself to clean the absence before the exam.” The student said his “medical dreams were broken”.
Hindus addressed the Office of the Dean and Foreign Students, but did not receive an answer. Reports to the unofficial head for Indian students, ambitions, did not guarantee the answer.
One such notice of expulsion is that he did not clarify the “academic debt in the” biochemistry “discipline. It continued to determine the process of obtaining the output visa. The Maharashtra student said,” I was forced to sign a “self -expression” announcement and threatened that I would not be able to return if so. “
“Spent lakhs rupees”
A parent who did not want to be identified, said: “After the war of the Ukrainian Russian War, consultants began to recommend Russian universities. We sent our children with great hopes and accepted loans. They are now returning and ending their dreams to become doctors. The parent said the family had already spent 25 GBP Lakh, and if their daughter was to be accepted again, it would cost another 15 lakh.
Students said the annual expenditure is approximately 4 ₹ Lakh, which is increasingly smaller in India than private universities, and therefore becomes the best choice for those who have not reached public universities. The more students he spoke to Hindu said that consultants and university agents had highly recommended.
Students approached the Indian embassy and wrote more e -mails to the Indian government, but did not receive any answers. The post office told the Ministry of Health and Family Care that universities admit many more students than they can adapt, and later exclude them under various pretexts. He added that universities that promise teaching in English are moving to Russian for the third year and further complicate things for foreign students.
The Indian Embassy in Russia took a visit to the university in June and shared photos with students on their official website. However, the students claimed that they were threatened by exclusion before officials. The officials were contacted, but did not respond until the press.
