Consulate General of India, St. Petersburg

The Education Wing frequently gets complaints regarding expulsion of Indian students from Russian medical universities for failing to obtain requisite marks or clearing examination, non-payment of fees, lack of attendance and those students who have contracted infectious diseases like tuberculosis. Instances of students being expelled due to disciplinary problems have also been reported. Please note that these expulsion rules are very stringently observed and often the students are expelled midway in their medical study which ruins their careers. It is also not possible to obtain financial scholarship or education loan in Russia and in some cases when students were unable to pay fees due to domestic problems they were expelled and had to leave the country.
