How to read the Russia list

Lowest recurring fee: ₹2,40,000 per year at Orel State Medical University. If the first year is the stretch, the per-year column is what the next four to five years cost; a low first year with a high per-year fee ends up dearer than the reverse.
- at least 54 months of study, taught in English,
- followed by 12 months of internship at the same university,
- and the degree licenses you to practise in that country itself.
How admission works from Tamil Nadu
- Qualify NEET UG. A qualifying score is mandatory for every foreign MBBS that will be recognised in India; there is no other route.
- Shortlist against the NMC rules above, not against the brochure. Confirm the course length, English medium, the internship arrangement and the local licence.
- Compare the course total with your Indian options first. A Tamil Nadu government-quota seat, a self-financing government-quota seat or a management seat may be within reach — check the seats still open after Round 1 and deemed fees before deciding.
- Apply with College Path. We handle the university application, offer letter, visa file and pre-departure steps for these 15 universities. No charge for the first conversation.

Only if the specific university meets the NMC Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations 2021: at least 54 months of study in English, 12 months of internship at the same university, and a degree that licenses you to practise locally. Check the university on nmc.org.in before paying; the country name alone guarantees nothing.
Do I need NEET for MBBS in Russia?
Yes. A qualifying NEET UG score is mandatory for any foreign medical degree that will be recognised in India. Without it you cannot sit the FMGE or NExT on return.
Which is the cheapest medical university in Russia?
On course total, Orel State Medical University at 19.7 L. On first-year fee alone, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Kaliningrad at 4.2 L. The two can differ because some universities load the first year and keep later years low.
Are these fees fixed?
No. They are the figures quoted to College Path for the 2026-27 intake, converted to rupees at the time. Universities revise fees and exchange rates move, so confirm the current figure with the university before any payment.
