Govt. issues advisory for students going for courses in CIS/Eurasia region

The Government today advised Indian students planning to pursue courses in the CIS/Eurasia region to satisfy themselves about physical safety and living conditions, standards of education, recognition of degrees and certificates and other factors before taking a decision.

An advisory issued by the Ministry of External Affairs said students should also check the general credentials offering the courses and also the prevailing atmosphere at those universities and institutions in question.

The advisory was issued after it came to the notice of the Ministry that a number of Indian students were either pursuing or planning to take up a range of short-term (upto three years or less) courses, including medical courses, at various universities and institutes in some countries of the Eurasia/CIS region.
