Addressing all Vice-Chancellors of technical universities and all directors of AICTE-approved institutions, it said, “As you are aware, around 20,000 Indian students are back in the country from the war-torn Ukraine, where they were pursuing courses in medical, engineering etc. in various universities of Ukraine.”
All the students who returned from Ukraine amid the war are in deep desperation as their educational future is uncertain in the war-torn country, it said. “The matter was raised in the parliament and it was recommended that the Government of India would facilitate all educational possibilities for all those who want to continue their education in India as it concerns the future of thousands of Indians which should not be neglected,” the AICTE said in the notice.
External affairs minister of India S Jaishankar on April 6 said that India is in talks with countries such as Poland, Romania and Kazakhstan to facilitate the completion of medical education of students who have returned from Ukraine.
