Chennai, July 2024

On July 14–15 Kazan State Medical University, Russia in association with Russian House and Study abroad educational consultants conducted the entrance exam for the aspirants of 2024 academic year for over 150 Indian students to pursue MBBS in Russia. More than 30 students out of this wrote the exam at the Russian house in chennai in offline format for the first time.

This initiative marked a significant change from previous testing schedules to a centralized online format for medical entrance examination.

This year the admission process for foreign students has been modified to align with the Ministry of Education of Russia’s standards, consolidating testing into a single, efficient center. To ensure transparency and uphold the credibility of the process, the medical entrance examinations in chemistry and English were overseen by observers: Mr. Alexander Dodonov, Director of Russian House in Chennai, and Dr. Timur Akhmetov, assistant Professor, Kazan State Medical University.

Russia continues to be the top choice for Indian students seeking medical education abroad, as Russian universities proactively adhere to the changing norms and guidelines of India’s National Medical Commission (NMC) to ensure that their MBBS programs are well recognised in India. Every year thousands of Indian students step into Russia to get prestigious, globally recognised and affordable education.
