Addressing a press conference announcing the launch of the fair, Mr. Lagutin Sergey Alekseevich, Consul, Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Chennai, South India, said, Higher education in Russia is considered one of the best in the world. It is known for its centuries-old history, strong scientific base and high level of training. Every year tens of thousands of students are coming to study in Russia to get prestigious, globally recognized and affordable education. Students from India have been admitted to Russian universities for the last 60 years. They enjoy special consideration in Russia, as Indo-Russian relations have always remained strong.
He added: The cost of higher education is relatively cheaper because it is highly subsidised by the Government of the Russian Federation. Governmental support and adaptation programmes for international applicants are constantly evolving. Universities also provide assistance as many have special adaptation programs and support systems for Indian students.”
In his comments, Mr. C. Ravi Chandran, Managing Director, Study Abroad, said: Russia is increasingly becoming an attractive destination for international students to receive higher education both on a commercial basis and state scholarship. The country has over 300,000 foreign students from 200 different countries studying in its 600-odd government universities. Over the recent years, the number of Russian higher education institutions in world education rankings has increased considerably.”
He pointed out that Russian higher medical educational establishments are recognised worldwide and enjoy high rankings. Russia has produced internationally renowned doctors and scientists. Russia was the first country to come up with a vaccine against COVID19 (Sputnik V). Many famous doctors across the world have had their education in Russia.
