But in India MCI validated it as MBBS. So, the student will be an M.D (Physician) in all other countries but in India an MBBS doctor.

Let us give you all the details by keeping student’s best future as our interest.

Bilingual Courses: Many MBBS universities in Russia provide bilingual courses. This means the academic part which is of 3 years will be taught in English. The clinical part which is the most important part will be taught in Russia language for 3 years.

There is a very low chance that the student will learn Russian to the expert level in these years. There is no sense in opting for such courses. The student will not be able to clear the screening test in India. Always choose medical university teaching medicine in English language only.

Overadmission: Some consultants pick more students than the no. of seats available in the university. If a university has 150 seats and the agent or consultant sends 200 students then the rest 50 students will be adjusted in Bilingual or Russian course which is of 7 years duration.
Always choose your consultant wisely to avoid such things.
Consult Singla Consultancy for a clean and transparent process.

These are the things you need to watch before taking admission.

Apart from this MBBS in Russia is a good option for Indian students.

Russia has cold weather but that is not an issue as there are heaters at the hostel, university, buses, malls and almost everywhere.

Choose an MCI approved and English language course in a Russian university and it will be the best decision of your life.
