Chennai: Over 10 leading Russian government institutions including those offering medical and engineering programmes are participating in an education fair to be held on June 9 and 10 at Russian Centre of Science and Culture in the city.
The fair will be open from 10 am to 5 pm on both the days and the entry is free. Spot admission will be given to candidates furnishing valid credentials supporting their eligibility to pursue bachelor's or post-graduate degree programs.
There are no pre-qualifying exams like CET, IELTS for admissions to universities in Russia like in some countries. Whereas for medical programmes, students should have cleared Neet (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) exam according to the criteria laid by MCI (Medical Council of India) for doing medicine in India as well as in any institution outside the country. MCI as a special case for the year 2018 alone has exempted those students from writing Neet who had been earlier admitted to overseas medical courses and are currently undergoing language /preparatory/foundation courses.
This is the 20th edition of the fair being organised in the city by Russian Centre of Science and Culture and in association with Study Abroad - the authorized Indian Representative for Russian Universities.
