Kazakhstan to reserve 800 seats for Indian students

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, JUNE 6. Kazakhstan is now offering high quality, low cost, technical education to students from India and elsewhere through its Indian representative here, EDUSAR, a division of Sar Global.

The Indian representative has tied up with the Ministry of Education in Kazakhstan for 800 seats to be reserved for Indian students, and of these 500 will be for medical education, 200 for engineering and 100 in management courses. In all these areas there is an acute shortage of seats in Indian educational institutions and every year thousands of students are disappointed as they are unable to secure a seat.

Kazakhstan plans to use its international standard educational facilities, especially specialised institutes of learning, to attract foreign students who can bring some valuable foreign exchange. Already students from Germany, African countries, West Asia and Asia are present in the country in fairly good numbers. But now it plans to increase the number of foreign students.

One of the attractive parts of the offer is that specialised education there will cost less than even in India, and of course, several times less than it would cost in the West, and in campuses that are beautiful and set in the midst of scenic nature. In a release to the press, EDUSAR has said that medical education, for example, would cost a student Rs. 6 lakhs to complete when it costs almost three times in India. Through the website: www.edusar.com and email: contact@edusar.com students will be able to get answers to all their queries.

A new slogan being adopted is `education for all' and together with improving education facilities for its own people (the total population is just 16 million), Kazakhstan has a plan to set up an international education centre, BILIM, at Karganda to help students get admissions and complete all formalities..
