Uzbekistan
### 1. The Strongest Budget-to-Quality Ratio With total 6-year costs frequently falling under ₹25 Lakhs (including tuition and hostel), Uzbekistan provides a modern alternative to Kyrgyzstan, maintaining strict academic standards without the premium price tag of top-tier Russian universities. ### 2. 100% NMC Compliance & English Medium The 6-year MD (MBBS equivalent) curriculum strictly adheres to the NMC's Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations. All primary universities offer clinical exposure and instruction entirely in English, paired with local language classes for hospital interactions. ### 3. Exceptional Safety for International Students Uzbekistan ranks exceptionally high for safety, boasting very low violent crime rates. The society is culturally conservative but highly welcoming to Indians, with a heavy police presence ensuring strict public order. It is consistently rated by Indian female students as one of the most secure destinations in Central Asia. ### 4. Seamless Connectivity Direct flights run multiple times a week between New Delhi and Tashkent, dramatically reducing travel fatigue (approx. 3-hour flight times) compared to navigating internal regional flights in larger countries like Russia.
