Tver City, Russia: Tver State Medical University (TSMU), a prominent medical institution in Russia, has come under increasing scrutiny in recent months due to mounting concerns related to the fate of Indian medical students. The Indian Embassy issued a stern warning to Tver State Medical University in a letter dated June 23, 2023, with copies sent to the Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation, Moscow, and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, Moscow. The letter addresses issues related to the verification of Indian students’ degrees and compliance with the National Medical Commission (NMC) guidelines.
For over six months, numerous cases of degree verification have remained unresolved, adversely affecting the academic and professional prospects of Indian students studying at Tver State Medical University. This ongoing delay has created uncertainty and frustration among the student community.
Dr. Abhishek, a TSMU graduate, revealed that his degree verification had been pending for an extended period before finally being cleared by the university after he paid a sum of $1000. Such allegations raise serious questions about the transparency and ethics of the verification process.
Furthermore, concerns have arisen that Tver State Medical University is not adhering to NMC guidelines, particularly regarding the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) criteria. Compliance with these guidelines is essential to ensure that Indian students receive a standardized and quality medical education abroad. Any violation of these guidelines is a matter of grave concern.
Most distressingly, reports have emerged indicating that Dr. Mayukh Karan and Dr. Ranjvijay Singh, allegedly associated with Tver State Medical University, have issued fake admission letters to Indian students. Such fraudulent activities not only undermine the trust of Indian students but also jeopardize their future careers.
In light of these grave concerns, Tver State Medical University has been urged by the Indian Embassy to take immediate remedial measures and hold accountable individuals responsible for activities that tarnish the reputation of Russian medical universities. Transparency, accountability, and strict adherence to established guidelines are fundamental pillars in the endeavor to maintain the unblemished reputation of educational institutions and to ensure the well-being of international students.
