Why MBBS in Russia?

Russia has also been a big choice for Indian students. About 6 thousand medical students especially those studying MBBS go to Russia every year. About 8 lakh students appear for MBBS in India, but only 1 lakh students get admission to Indian medical colleges. This is the reason that every year thousands of Indian students have to move to other countries including Russia.

A senior consultant from Axis Institute educational consultancy says that Russia is also a favorite destination for Indian students for medical studies. Due to the lack of medical seats in our country, medical colleges in Russia are becoming popular among students. The doors of medical universities in Russia remain open for Indian students. Thousands of Indian medical students every year move to countries like Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Uzbekistan, where medical college admission is easy and the cost is also less.

Following are the advantages of doing MBBS in Russia:-

1. The education fee for MBBS in Russia is very low as compared to other European countries.
