Thousands of Indian students travel out of the country for a basic medical degree simply because it is more affordable and less competitive

“Wuhan is a beautiful place, you know,” says Vinod*, over the phone, as we talk about the plight of Indian medical students forced to return home two years ago after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. His stammer and long pauses reflect the anxiety that students and their parents have grappled with for over 800 days now. Even today, there seems to be no end in sight.

Vinod, from Kerala, had left the country in 2017 to join Wuhan University in China and returned to India when the pandemic began. He was a good student through school. “Two of my cousins were already studying medicine in China when I cleared Class XII. My National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) ranking wasn’t good enough to get me a seat in a government college; and a good private college seat costs anywhere between 50 lakh and 70 lakh on paper. In China, I could finish the same course in under 35 lakh,” he says.
