You never Know! For flights passing through Western Europe and Middle east... most of the countries don't require you to have a transit visa, if you hold a Canadian or American visa... Being student has nothing to do with it.. You better confirm with a travel agent.
According to Embassy of Ukraine, in India.. people do need a transit visa.

1.Transit Visa (indicated by letter B) is issued to foreign citizens and stateless persons for passing through Ukraine to a third destination, as well as for the transit of cargo and for the transit of vehicle passengers.
There are single, double and multiple entry transit visas issued for the period indicated in the supporting documents. However, the period should not exceed one year unless otherwise stipulated by International Agreements of Ukraine. Each transit through the territory of Ukraine should not exceed five days.
