IN the circumstances, students prefer CIS universities where admission rules are also lax. There are no admission tests,says Manish Arora, representative of Fam India, which boasts sending 500 students to Ukraine annually. And even if there are tests, they're only token, and are no real examination of a student's intelligence. Even students with a low 60 per cent in physics, chemistry and biology (PCB), who cannot dream of a seat in professional colleges here, are assured of admission provided they shell out Rs 4 lakh to Rs 5 lakh. Interestingly, says Arora, most students rushing to CIS countries hail from the southern states or from regions where the reservation quota is particularly discouraging. The fee is low, much lower than the almost Rs 20 lakh charged by a private medical college in India. It's a fraction of the cost of medical education in developed countries, though CIS states boast of excel -lent faculty and facilities, with specialised courses in nuclear medicine.
