Altai State Medical University

ASMU provides 3–4 dedicated international student hostels within 1 km of the main campus. Rooms are 2–3 person shared with beds, study tables, wardrobes, heating, and Wi-Fi. Separate facilities for male and female students with 24/7 security. Common kitchens are available on each floor. Annual hostel cost: approximately ₹30,000–50,000.

It fits applicants who want a Russian public-university pathway with a steadier cost profile and fewer distractions than larger city campuses.

Kazan State Medical University

KSMU provides dedicated international student hostels on or near campus with 2–3 occupancy rooms and shared kitchen facilities. The listed hostel fee ($2,400/year) typically covers accommodation and meals. Students in later years often move to private apartments in Kazan — the city's large student population makes this straightforward. We confirm current hostel availability, room type, and fee structure with the university as part of the admission process.

Best suited to students who want a well-established Indian community, proven FMGE outcomes, and a major city environment — and who are willing to pay slightly more than the cheapest Russian options to get these.
