With 16 Russian cities available to Indian students for their academic endeavours, there is a wide geographical dispersion of knowledge across the country. More than 16,500 Indian students had been accepted into Russian universities as of 2021; a sizable portion of them chose to pursue degrees in medicine. This pattern demonstrates Russia’s leading status as a top choice for students looking to study overseas, especially in the medical sector, where more than 10,000 Indian students enroll in Russian medical schools each year. In terms of demographics, Indian students in Russia have an average age of 22.5, with a gender distribution that is significantly skewed towards men at 62.7%. Financially, the majority (81.7%) come from middle-income families, while a lesser minority (9.2%) come from low-income homes. Notably, just 6.5% came from high-income families.
