But beneath the surface, there is a purportedly evil conspiracy involving pakistan that seems to be endangering these young physicians' futures. India appears to be carrying out another "Operation Sindoor" in kyrgyzstan against universities that are owned by Pakistani corporations or that are supported by pakistan, as part of Pakistan's latest ill-fated action against indian citizens exposed abroad.
These Pakistani-influenced universities in kyrgyzstan are accused of radicalizing indian students, awarding phony degrees, and indoctrinating them with their ideologies while posing as respectable medical schools, according to the findings.
According to research, about 7 lakh indian students aspire to become physicians, but because there aren't enough spots in the country's government medical colleges and private schools charge excessive tuition, and they go outside for more affordable options. Kyrgyzstan has become a well-liked travel destination in recent years, offering medical education on par with that of other countries at a far lower cost.
Beyond historically favored countries like russia, Ukraine, and the Philippines, kyrgyzstan, a small, mountainous country in Central Asia, is emerging as a new hub for indian medical aspirants.
Why indian students Prefer Kyrgyzstan
According to the experts, tensions in Ukraine, which was previously the preferred location for medical students due to conflict with russia, have caused kyrgyzstan to become a favorite destination for indian students looking to study medicine overseas. The nation's medical schools provide English-medium education, reasonable tuition costs, and curricula that comply with the National Medical Commission's (NMC) criteria.
Indian students have a favorable opinion of a number of well-known universities, including the international Higher school of Medicine (IHSM), Kyrgyz State Medical Academy (KSMA), and Osh State Medical University. The following are the main factors influencing the decision:
Tuition and living costs are up to 70% less than at indian private medical schools.
100% Instruction in English, reducing linguistic obstacles
Curricula that follow the National Medical Commission's (NMC) recommendations in india
MBBS programs lasting five and a half years that need internships
Direct flights and knowledge of indian cuisine and culture
What Are Concerns
While Kyrgyzstan's well-established universities are reportedly still of high caliber, several recently founded private universities have been under criticism for being controlled or influenced by Pakistani organizations. The indian Embassy and intelligence services have reported that some establishments provide significant hazards, such as:
Lack of hospital affiliations and poor academic quality
Granting degrees that are fictitious or inadequately attained
Enrolling students without adequate screening raises the risk of ideological indoctrination and radicalization, particularly for those from delicate areas like Kashmir.
Deeper geopolitical motivations are suggested by Pakistani government figures' frequent trips.
