| Climate | China has very different climates by region. Beijing has cold, dry winters, hot summers and four distinct seasons; applicants should check the local climate, air-quality information and housing arrangements for the specific university city. | Baltic — warm summers (18–26°C, up to 18 hours daylight in June), cold winters (-5 to -15°C, heavy snow from November through March). Spring and autumn are mild at 5–15°C with beautiful seasonal landscapes. Kaunas is located in central Lithuania at the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers. The Baltic winter is the biggest climate adjustment for Indian students — proper thermal clothing, waterproof boots, gloves, and a quality winter jacket are essential from the first year. |

China
China offers a broad higher-education system spanning engineering, computing, business, sciences, architecture, public policy and the humanities. International applicants should compare programme language, nationality rules, entrance routes, fees, scholarship conditions and student-visa requirements institution by institution.
Admission process
Lithuania
For LSMU's BSc in Health Sciences (General Practice Nurse), eligibility is straightforward — but Indian students should confirm their entrance test status and Apostille requirements before applying.
China
Students consider China for its large research universities, extensive technical and scientific training, growing English-taught graduate provision and government scholarship routes. The practical trade-off is that many undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are Chinese-medium or bilingual, while English-taught options have their own eligibility, language and deadline rules.

Admission process
We verify your Class 12 Biology and Chemistry marks, IELTS or English test score, and NEET score (if applicable) to assess your LSMU competitiveness and entrance test exemption status. If your NEET score is 650 or above, we confirm your exemption with LSMU admissions immediately. We prepare your complete document set in the exact format LSMU requires: Class 10 and 12 certificates and marksheets Apostilled by MEA India, authorised English translations of any regional-language documents, IELTS/English certificate, passport copy, passport photograph (3×4 cm), and motivation letter. Apostille is mandatory — we guide you through the MEA process from your city.
Lithuania
Indian students choose Lithuania for nursing primarily because of LSMU's unique position: it is one of only 5 WHO Collaborating Centres for Nursing in all of Europe, and its BSc degree is automatically recognised across all 27 EU member states under EU Directive 2005/36/EC. The total 4-year cost of approximately EUR 31,000–45,000 (INR 28–41 lakhs) is dramatically lower than equivalent nursing programmes in Canada or the UK. Lithuania's Schengen membership is a key practical advantage — students can travel across 26 European countries on their residence permit, and a Lithuanian TRP is the foundation for building a European nursing career. Germany's nursing shortage (150,000+ additional nurses needed by 2027) creates documented long-term demand at EUR 2,800–3,800/month gross — a salary multiple of 10–15x what Indian hospitals pay. Part-time work rights (20 hours/week during term) allow students to offset living costs. Kaunas is an affordable, safe, student-friendly Baltic city with budget airline connections to all major European hubs.
