Fully English taught MBBS courses in Russia

 (In very few Russian MBBS colleges).
Fully Russian taught MBBS programs in Russia (All the Russian medical universities).
Bilingual programs (3 years in English and last 3 years in the Russian language in most of the universities)
The cost to study MBBS / MD in Russia in the English language is always higher than that of the Russian taught programs. So the students should make their budgets as per the teaching language. For example, the fees from 2nd year in Dagestan Medical University (Approved by MCI) is USD 3,700 in English language and only USD 3,000 if you choose to study in Russian taught program from 2nd to 6th year. To understand more, you may inquire with MOKSH to avoid the mistake in university selection.

The agents show the tuition fees of the program based on Russian taught MBBS course. However, when you reach there, you realize that the university tuition fees charge for English-taught program would be higher. This would make your planned financial budget in trouble. MOKSH has decided to give you both the costs for all the universities so that you can easily compare it with the other agents and arrive at a proper decision.
Many of the agents try to fool you a by promoting a bilingual program as a fully English-taught program. You need to be very careful for this. You may get in touch with MOKSH expert counselor to understand the options clearly. Click here to understand what Indian Embassy in Moscow has to convey towards students advisory.
The students should have MCI Screening Test coaching (Online) before they depart to study MBBS in Russia. Do not believe in a future promise by the agents that the classroom coaching is available.
Many agents promote “Subsidized Fees” with the Russian medical universities. In this scheme, they ask the students to pay 6 years fees together with a discount. MOKSH always warns the student that there is no such system by the university having “subsidized fees”. The amount would be kept by the agent and ultimately you would end us in trouble when they do not pay the fees to the university on your behalf to study MBBS in Russia.
MCI Screening Test coaching is not available in most of the Russian medical universities. Many agents simply convey that it is available and even take the money. You must ensure that a MCI Screening Test / FMGE online coaching module is made available to you before your departure. Imagine a situation that you chose a wrong university offering bilingual teaching such as Tver Medical College. You did not get the FMGE coaching. The result would be absolutely disastrous! Indian consulate in Moscow has published the results of MCI Screening Test for individual universities to support you select the university to study MBBS in Russia with clarity.

As you can check from the Indian Embassy, the highest passing rate in MCI Screening Test / FMGE is at Crimea State Medical University (Also referred to as Crimea Federal University). Further, you understand that the cost mentioned is that of English taught the course and not the Russian taught course.
