Russia
Russia has 50+ medical colleges meeting NMC guidelines and accepting Indian students. Before shortlisting a medical college in Russia, confirm the Indian-side eligibility requirements and then verify the exact university-side admissions route — each institution uses its own document formats, interview processes, and enrollment timelines.
Admission process
We assess your NEET score, Class 12 PCB marks, budget, and city preference, then shortlist 3–5 Russian universities that match your profile. Every university we present is officially verified, meets NMC guidelines, and confirmed open for foreign applicants in the current cycle. We prepare your complete document set in the exact format required: Class 10 and 12 marksheets with apostille, notarised Russian translations of all academic records, NEET scorecard, photographs, and medical fitness certificate. Apostille and translation are mandatory for Russia — we manage this from your city.
