He said Bangladeshi students can pursue higher education in subjects according to their goals at any university nominated for scholarship in Russia.
Besides, he invited all those who are interested in pursuing higher education in Russia and learning Russian literature and culture in depth.
Regarding the world-class higher education of Russian alumni and their professional prospects, he said they are holding various high positions in various government services, private companies, and higher education institutions in Bangladesh.
He recalled that 110 scholarships were allocated in the last academic year (2023-2024). Due to the huge interest of Bengali students in higher education in Russia, the number of scholarships increased to 124 in the academic year 2024-2025.
