Why Indian Students Choose Russia for MBBS

Every year, thousands of Indian students travel to Russia to study MBBS — and the number keeps growing. India has one of the most competitive medical entrance systems in the world, with over 23 lakh NEET aspirants and only a fraction securing government seats. Russia offers a credible alternative: established universities, English-medium teaching, affordable fees, and direct admission with no donation or capitation. Like any big decision it has both advantages and realities, and we explain all of them honestly before you commit.
