China is a top destination for Indian students who aspire to become doctors. The Indian students pursuing medicine in China were taken back home two years back when China was badly hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. Since the last two years, students are stranded in India and not able to go back as China was denying VISA.

The Chinese government had said that the Indian students will be able to return to the universities in China “on a need-assessed basis”. This means, that after the years-long wait, only a limited number of students will be allowed to return to the country.
