Elaborating further, Sharma said, "The rules of our country for students pursuing MBBS courses in overseas countries are strict. Even in normal circumstances or an emergency, the students cannot be rehabilitated in Indian universities. Hence, these students are translocated to other foreign universities. But after the completion of their courses, these students will have to procure medical degrees from their parent universities in Ukraine."
