NMC Launches Academic Mobility Programme For Ukraine-Returned Students

New Delhi, 13 October 2022: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has launched an academic mobility programme (AMS) to allow students who have returned from war-torn Ukraine to relocate to other countries and complete their higher studies. As per the notification released on the official website – nmc.org.in, the Ministry of External Affairs considered the AMS and decided to temporarily relocate Indian students to other universities, but the degree will be awarded by the Ukrainian university only.

Recent Update – Uzbekistan’s Management of Higher Education Institutions (MHEIs) is offering 2,000 seats to relocate Indian medical students from Ukraine to government medical institutes of Uzbekistan.

Academic Mobility Programme – Aim

  • Over 20,000 Indian students had gone to Ukraine to complete their undergraduate medical courses.
  • Due to the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, students had to leave their studies midway and return to their home countries.
  • Under this AMS, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has released a list of three universities to which Indian students who returned from Ukraine can currently apply.
  • The students can apply to three Georgia universities, including: Georgia National University SEU, New Vision University, and BAU International University Batumi.
