Russia Scholarships: 200 Indian students to get free education in Russia this year..

Tensions between India and the US recently escalated over oil purchases and H1-B visas. This made it difficult for Indian students to study and work in the US. However, Russia has now offered a significant gift to Indian students. Ahead of President Vladimir Putin's visit to India, Russia announced 200 scholarships for the 2025-26 academic year. This initiative will provide Indian students with the opportunity to study at renowned Russian universities.

Russia provides scholarships to Indian students annually. This year, too, Russia has announced 200 scholarships. Students can apply for undergraduate, specialist, master's, and PhD programs, as well as advanced training courses. These scholarships cover almost all Russian universities, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, and other major cities.

Study options in a wide range of disciplines
Study options will be available in a variety of disciplines, including medicine, pharmacy, engineering, architecture, agriculture, management, economics, space, aviation, arts, and sports. Significantly, many medical and other programs are taught in English. Students who do not know Russian can enroll in their main course after undergoing language training for a year.

Application Process and Deadline
Applications for these scholarships can be made exclusively on the official website www.education-in-russia.com. The deadline for application is January 15, 2025. No exam is required. The selection process will be based on documents and portfolios, including previous academic scores, research papers, letters of recommendation, or achievements in competitions.

University Selection
Students can prioritize up to six universities in their application, but final admission will be to the university they select. The selection process will be conducted in two stages. The first stage will involve document verification, while the second stage (by October 2025) will assign selected students to universities and complete visa processing.

A New Option for Indian Students
This initiative by Russia opens up a new option for Indian students, especially those who seek higher education abroad but face difficulties such as visas and fees. This step by Russia will further strengthen India-Russia educational ties.
