SC to govt: Create portal with admission info to help Ukraine students
SC to govt: Create portal with admission info to help Ukraine students
AmitAnand.Choudhary@timesgroup.com New Delhi
As the Centre agreed to facilitate Ukrainereturned medical students to resume and complete their course from medical colleges of other countries which are recognised by Ukrainian universities, the Supreme Court on Friday asked the government to a create a portal and provide all information on seats available and procedure to take admission there to complete the remaining part of their course. Appearing before a bench of Justices Hemant Gupta and Sudhanshu Dhulia, solicitor general Tushar Mehta submitted that it was not possible to admit the students in medical schools here but they can pursue their course from other countries and the government had talked with concerned authorities from Ukraine and other countries and the students would be able to complete their courses there and get their degrees.
Mehta said that as per the government’s academic mobility programme, these students can pursue the education from 29 countries including Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, France, Belgium, Georgia, Kazakhstan as their medical education was compatible with Ukraine university. He said that studentswould be allowed to pursue their education there during the conflict. The bench then said that it would be better if the government provided all the information regarding its academic mobility programme to the students by creating a portal as there are around 20,000 affected students.
The court said that it would make the process transparent and students could apply for admission as per their choice. It asked the solicitor general to talk to the concerned authority and brief the court on September 23. The court was hearing a batch of petitions filed by affected students pleading the court to intervene to protect their interest as they could not go back to the war-torn country to complete the course.
The Centre, however, clearly told the court 20,000 students could not be accommodated in the country.

Can’t give MBBS students from Ukraine seats in India: Govt
Can’t give MBBS students from Ukraine seats in India: Govt
TNN | Sep 16, 2022, 02.29 AM IST
NEW DELHI: The Union government on Thursday informed the Supreme Court that Indian students pursuing MBBS in Ukraine whose studies were disrupted because of war and subsequent evacuation would not be admitted to medical colleges in India as that would amount to giving ‘backdoor entry’ to less meritorious students.
It carved out an exception for final-year MBBS students and said, “Indian students who were in the last year of their undergraduate medicine courses and had to leave their foreign medical institutions due to Covid-19 or the Russia-Ukraine conflict and subsequently completed their studies to get completion certificate from their respective institutions on or before June 30 have been permitted to appear in Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE).”
It said on clearing FMGE, the students would have to undergo Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship for a period of two years in India to make up for the clinical training that they could not attend during the undergraduate medicine course in foreign institutes as also to familiarise themselves with the practice of medicine under Indian conditions.
A bench led by Justice Hemant Gupta, on request from counsel Swati Ghildiyal, agreed to postpone hearing in the matter by a day to Friday. Congratulations! 9/16/22, 7:13 AM Can’t give MBBS students from Ukraine seats in India: Govt - Times of India

It said that these students had gone to foreign countries because of their poor NEET scores and the affordability of education in those countries.
Admitting these students would “seriously hamper the standards of medical education”, it said. “In case these students with poor merit are allowed admission in premier medical colleges by default, there may be litigation from those desirous students who could not get admission because of poor NEET scores,” it added.

"We have dismissed the appeal. We have held that you are having sufficient regulatory powers. Merely because an application is made does not bound the PCI has to grant it. The abudnance of pharmacy colleges is one factor which can be considered.Basically we have agreed with the HC that this cannot be done by an executive instructions", Justice Gavai orally stated the judgment.Full copy of the judgment is awaited.
The appeals were filed against the judgments of the High Courts of Delhi, Karnataka and Chhattisgarh.

Ukraine univs ask students seeking transfer to return for their documents
Ukraine univs ask students seeking transfer to return for their documents
Some Universities Unwilling To Allow A Transfer Say ‘Return To Class’
Hemali.Chhapia@timesgroup.com
Mumbai : The impasse for medical students who returned from Ukraine seems unending. While Indian authorities have permitted them temporary academic mobility to med schools anywhere around the world, their primary university in the host country is refusing to part with original certificates and papers unless some conditions are met — they have asked candidates to come back to war-torn Ukraine to complete formalities for collection of documents.
Several Ukrainian university deans have intimated students that unless they return books borrowed from the library and hand over hostel linen, their original documents will not be released. Most students contend that they left everything behind in their hostels while evacuating in February. Universities in the western region, like Uzhhorod National Medical University and Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University are, in fact, asking students to return to class on the campus, stating that it is all safe there. They are refusing to even allow a transfer. Urvisha Lalwani, who enrolled at Zaporizhia State Medical University, has now hired a local Ukrainian agent to ferry her documents to the Poland border from where they will be shipped to India.
“It is so stressful. Despite nominating the agent to act on my behalf, the university has not released my documents. Without the transcripts, I cannot take admission in any other university,” she said. Like her, many have hired local agents and paid them $500-$800 to get the work done. Umesh Gurjar, who counsels students keen to pursue medicine abroad, said the process of getting documents back is lengthy and may come in the way of re-admissions because most European medical schools began their academic year on September 1.
“The Indian consulate must take this matter up and get the documents back for students,” said Gurjar. On September 5, the National Medical Commission had permitted Indian medical students studying in Ukraine to transfer to any other university in the world. This would have come as muchneeded relief to around 18,000 students whose careers have been in limbo ever since the Russia-Ukraine war broke out. The NMC notification said it agreed to a “temporary” relocation to other universities around the globe. “The academic mobility programme is a temporary relocation to other universities in different countries globally. However, the degree will be awarded by the parent Ukrainian university,” said the notification. TOIhad reported in March thatmedical schools from across the world had reached out to foreign medical aspirants who were in Ukraine as well as counsellors based in India and offered them admissions on their campuses.
At no additional cost and without an entrance exam, these candidates were promised seats in medical schools. Assistance for transfer had come from institutes in Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia, Belarus and Poland. Ukrainian universities had started online lectures, but with no end in sight to the war, students needed to move to institutes where practical sessions are held. But it seems the NMC notification has come a bit late in the day.
Getting documents from institutes like the National University of Kharkiv is proving to be almost impossible. “There is no water or power. All documents like the original class XII marks cards, credit logs, etc are in buildings that have no power. Once electricity is 9/15/22, 7:06 AM about:blank about:blank 2/2 restored, they will transfer the documents to the other university where the student will take admission. But all this is going to take time,” said consultant Madhukant Kaushik.
