Teaching hospitals
Admissions to MBBS at Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University usually follow the public/federal university process used for international medical applicants in Russia. Always confirm the current cycle, seat availability, and document format directly with the university before applying.
Identify which Russian universities match your NEET score, budget, and teaching medium preference — check the official program page, course duration, and whether the university is accepting foreign applicants for your cycle.
Check your NEET status, PCB marks, passport validity, and whether the university uses an internal exam or interview for foreign applicants.
Prepare your passport and education documents, then confirm whether your marksheets need apostille or legalization and notarized Russian translation.
Submit the application through the university admissions system or other official route accepted by that university.
Take the university's entrance test or interview if required. If you are applying for the Russian Government quota, follow the Rossotrudnichestvo or Education in Russia process instead of the paid-seat route.
Wait for the university's written admission decision, contract terms if applicable, and the official invitation needed for the study visa.
Apply for the Russian student visa using the invitation and the embassy or visa-centre checklist for your city.
After arrival, complete migration registration, local medical-insurance and medical-compliance formalities, and university enrollment steps before classes begin.

Indian students planning MBBS in Russia should first clear the Indian-side eligibility checks and then verify the exact university-side admissions route, because Russian universities can use their own internal tests, interviews, and document formats for foreign applicants.

The published intake month is not currently listed for this page.
Start document preparation and application planning early in the cycle and confirm exact timelines with the university.
Seat availability, invitation timelines, fee notices, hostel options, and visa processing should be rechecked for the current cycle.
The official Study in Russia portal says foreign students can apply under the quota of the Government of the Russian Federation, with competitive selection run through Rossotrudnichestvo or the Education in Russia system. Students admitted under the quota are entitled to a dormitory place and receive a state academic scholarship during full-time study funded from the federal budget. Outside the quota route, treat fee waivers or discounts as university-specific and request the written terms directly from the admissions office.
Ask whether fee waivers are merit-based, automatic, limited-seat, renewal-based, or only available in later years.
Request the written scholarship terms, the net payable tuition, and whether hostel or other charges are excluded.
For MBBS abroad, the key decision is not campus placement. It is whether the university, course structure, teaching medium, clinical exposure, and post-study pathway remain aligned with the licensing route you want to pursue after graduation.
