New Delhi: An education exhibition was organised on Thursday as part of the Second Russia-India Education Summit in New Delhi, bringing together representatives from leading universities, educational organisations, students, and academic stakeholders from both countries.
The event aimed to strengthen humanitarian and academic cooperation between India and Russia while promoting international education opportunities for Indian students, the Federal Agency Rossotrudnichestvo in New Delhi said in a statement.
Addressing the participants during the inaugural session, Dr Elena Remizova, Head of the Rossotrudnichestvo Representative Office in India, and Dr Pawan Kapoor, Chairman of the Advisory Committee to the National Medical Commission on Foreign Medical Qualifications, highlighted the growing importance of educational and scientific cooperation between the two countries.
The speakers stressed the increasing interest among Indian students in pursuing higher education in Russian universities and underlined the role of youth exchanges and academic collaboration in deepening bilateral ties.
According to the organisers, more than 70 leading Russian and Indian universities are participating in this year’s education exhibition. Institutions showcased academic programmes across engineering, medicine, humanities, technology, and natural sciences. The exhibition will conclude on Friday.
Visitors at the exhibition were given information on higher education opportunities, academic mobility programmes, research initiatives, and professional development prospects offered by participating institutions.
Presentations by Russian universities attracted significant attention, with university representatives providing details regarding admission procedures, study conditions, scholarship opportunities, accommodation facilities for international students, and employment prospects after graduation.
Indian students and parents also interacted directly with university representatives to seek information regarding courses and admission-related queries.
Organisers said the exhibition served not only as a platform for academic dialogue and exchange of experiences but also as a step towards strengthening long-term institutional partnerships between Russia and India in the education sector.
