MBBS in General Medicine - Batch of 2028
4
Affordable and friendly college.
Tips: Learning the local language is necessary. Always take care of your spending habits. If you love food, bring your own spices from India, the spices here are too bland. Also, remember to bring warm clothes, it gets down to -50 in the winter. Take care of your health and then you’ll be able to study well.
Likes (Public transportation): The most affordable transportation is the bus. But in summer electric scooters are also available. You can also book cabs. You'll only require them when visiting a mall for recreation. Several bus stops are there near the university and dorms. The dorms are very near the university, at a walking distance so public transportation won't be necessary.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are currently no Indian restaurants available. But you can cook several Indian dishes yourself. Personally, I prefer cooking myself, but sometimes when I'm too tired to cook, I treat myself to junk like pizza, burgers, or subways. These places are very close to the university.

A great choice for international students for MBBS.
Tips: Initially, I felt some cultural differences, especially in communication style and social norms. However, the orientation program and cultural events helped me settle in quickly. I learned a lot about dates, local customs, and traditions. The school has free or low-cost health care services, including vaccinations, checkups, and treatment for illness. It also has a group of student volunteers who try to make the campus a safer place, with a mobile app for students to alert their friends in case of an emergency. And there's a whole team of trained counsellors who offer support for students dealing with mental health, stress, and trauma. My only regret is that I didn’t get any scholarships. On the other hand, I’m satisfied with my winning city and course. The location provides a world-class education, and my courses provide me with valuable skills and knowledge.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty in our department is highly accessible and approachable and supportive learning environment they maintain an open door policy, encouraging students to see guidance and clarification on coursework department. Teaching methodology is unique in its emphasis on experiential learning.

College campus is very friendly and diverse.
Tips: There is no cultural shift here as everyone is experienced with our culture and gives good living conditions. Unfortunately, as an Indian, I can’t receive any scholarships because they are only available to Russian students. We enjoyed every class. The college organized many events each year, and we participated in and enjoyed every one. There were clubs, including a students' help club and a society club, in the college, and there was a good environment for everyone. The instructors are friendly to all of us and they really seem to care that we learn what we need to. Not only that, but they also help us get a head start by giving us access to the newest tech and online learning options. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience and I have found that my classmates are friendly and that the courses are hard but rewarding.

Teachers are friendly and cooperative.
Tips: Before joining the college you should know about the weather conditions of Surgut. It’s very cold in winter and in the summer there’s lots of vegetation around the university and throughout the whole city. There are also many free libraries around the city where you can study. The public transportation in Surgut is excellent, and it's cheap, too. Plus, it's very accessible to all sorts of things. There are bus stations right next to the university, the dorms, the city malls, etc. The whole thing is a network, so you can get anywhere you want to go. And the buses are so spacious that it's never a problem to find a seat. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are limited options for vegetarians and more options for non-vegetarians. However, there are places like Subway where you can eat vegetarian food if you have continuous classes and no time to go back to the dorm to eat. I would recommend cooking your own food if you have the time.

Surgut State University has more to offer than one might think.
Tips: You might encounter a language barrier and might need to keep up with your studies more seriously on your own. However, the opportunity to explore the different cultures here, and the people and the accommodation, make this college worthwhile. I take my related classes, and the faculty are quite helpful with the subjects and try to help us figure out life here. In the matter of events, we have a cultural fest and more. There are many opportunities to join clubs you prefer like music or any other that you might want to take. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There's no availability of Indian cuisine in the restaurants, so if you're vegetarian it's difficult to get the complete nutrition you need. I personally prefer to cook myself according to my own taste and preferred diet. Fortunately, our company provides a mess.

Best college with minimal drawbacks.
Tips: There are a few things you should be aware of. The weather here can get very cold, with temperatures ranging from -40°C to -50°C. If you are used to spicy food, bring your own because store-bought food here is not very spicy. The public transportation in Surgut is very convenient and also affordable. There are many ways to get around. One option is by bus, which costs around 35 rubles per ride. Another option is Whoosh, a bike service that costs about 4-5 rubles per minute. Both buses and cabs are comfortable and provide a pleasant ride. Not many vegetarian food options are available here. Almost all the foods have non-veg ingredients. Moreover, there aren't many vegetarian options available at stores like Magnit and Pyatrochka, and the vegetarian pizzas available at the Dodo Pizza outlet are too expensive. For us, vegetarian pizza costs around 500 to 800 rubles.

The weather can be very harsh at times but it is manageable.
Tips: Firstly if anyone is thinking about coming here or to Russia for medical studies, they should keep in mind that the temperature here has in negative for eight months where I live, but Russia is very big, so if you manage to get your college in the south, then it would be best. About the food, if you are a strict vegetarian, then you are going to face some problems, otherwise, there are lots more options. There are lots of colleges in Russia, so you can choose according to your needs and the ranking of your colleges. One piece of advice I would like to give is to try to take your college in the south of Russia, then you wouldn’t have to face the harsh weather, and the food is also easily available.
Likes (Safety): I have never felt any threat to my safety even on nights with no other people on the street. I have never witnessed any thefts and the people here are also good and well-mannered. I have seen police and security everywhere and it is very strict so it is very safe.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I'd like to live in some other English-speaking country like the UK or Australia. In Surgut, almost no one knows the English language, so it's difficult for us to communicate, and the temperature here is also extremely cold. Regarding job opportunities, as an English-speaking student, I believe I would have more opportunities in other countries as I don't know the native language here, which would cause me trouble when trying to communicate with patients.

Good college for students who want to study medicine in budget.
Tips: Students from India must carry spices with them. There are very few vegetarian options available in the market, so students must prepare most of their own vegetarian food. Students who obtain admission through an agency will be provided vegetarian food. I don't think I want to settle in Russia permanently, but I do wish to work here. The main problem is the weather in Russia. Winters are extremely cold, with temperatures reaching as low as -50 degrees.
Likes (Value for money): The fee I pay covers the cost of those facilities. I am especially grateful for the help I received from the agency in India that helped me with the documentation and other requirements for admission. The international department at the college is very helpful for students from foreign countries.

Kemerovo State Medical University is good and affordable for pursuing MBBS.
Tips: In this country, it is almost winter all year round, and the temperature can sometimes drop to -50 degrees Celsius. There is a language barrier that makes it difficult to communicate. You do not need any scholarships to attend this university. You only need to have passed the NEET exam and a test administered by the university. To come here, you will need a passport and warm winter clothes. The public transportation system is good, convenient, and affordable. The price for a bus ticket is 34 rubles, which is less than the price of a cab. However, sometimes it is difficult to access a bus, so we have to take a cab. Overall, I am satisfied with the university and the course I am taking.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are very few Indian food options here. There are a lot of non-vegetarian options, but very few vegetarian options. So, if you are a vegetarian, you will need to bring some food items from your home country and cook them yourself.

The university has strong curriculum and numerous extra curricular activities.
Tips: Before joining this college, students must know that they must come with Indian spices, as there are no Indian food options. The university provides study books, so it is not necessary to bring books from India. The university is safe for foreign students and is registered with both NMC and WHO. The climate is extreme, with temperatures reaching -40 degrees Celsius in winter and +25 to +30 degrees Celsius in summer.
Likes (Value for money): The quality of education at my university is good, especially for practical work. The faculty provides us with live dead bodies for studying anatomy and microscopes for histology. In addition, the university is good for sports.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no more food options for vegetarians. If you think of self-cooking, vegetables are expensive, especially if you are vegan. There are no vegan restaurants and no Indian food options. There are some Indian messes, but they are expensive.

Everything is great. There are lots of events, sports and clubs.
Tips: Before joining, students should understand the course curriculum, duration, and career prospects. Check the accreditation to verify the institution's recognition and credibility. Ensure language proficiency in both English and the local language. Familiarize yourself with the application deadline and procedures. Calculate expenses and explore scholarship opportunities. Learn about extracurricular activities and support services. Prepare for cultural and environmental adjustments. Also, the weather here is hard and extremely cold during winter so prepare yourself.
Likes (Post study jobs): The classes were challenging, but I learned a lot. There were also many extracurricular activities to choose from, including sports, concerts, and student clubs. Overall, it was a great experience.
Dislikes (Part time work): The teachers are very kind and highly educated. They have in-depth knowledge and experience in their fields and are passionate about teaching. They take a student-centric approach, prioritizing student needs and fostering a supportive learning environment.

Kemerovo State Medical University has strict rules and regulations.
Tips: The admission process typically involves applying an online application followed by the review of the application and supporting documentation. Some may require additional steps like interviews or entrance exams. Students should thoroughly research the course and the university. The faculty are quite understanding so don't hesitate to raise any doubts. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Safety): The police are friendly to foreigners, but petty crimes such as pickpocketing, scams, and vandalism are common in tourist areas. Terrorism has occurred in the past, and public gatherings can become violent, resulting in foreigners being detained or question.
Dislikes (Part time work): It is difficult to find a job without strong Russian language skills. However, there are opportunities to teach a language, including English German, Spanish, French, and Chinese. You can also write for an online periodical, a culture guide, or a website. You can also assist teachers with tasks such as lesson planning and guiding students. There are also jobs in retail sales and customer service, but these require strong Russian language skills.

Value for money, comfortable study and qualified teachers.
Tips: Students should know that Kemerovo State Medical University is a low-budget institution that provides a comfortable study environment and qualified teachers. The university also admits more students than they have seats for, so there are more than thirty students in a group, and the tutor does not have time to listen to all the students. However, the university is located in an industrial city with many factories and restaurants, so students can find part-time work to supplement their income.
Likes (Part time work): Kemerovo is an industrial city with many factories and restaurants. I was able to find part-time work in the city and I even worked with Russians, which helped me develop my language skills.
Dislikes (Student Life): The student life at Kemerovo State Medical University is not very good. There are few tourist attractions in the city, and the hostel rooms are not renovated. The hostel rent is high compared to the rent paid by students who live in rooms. The university admits more students than they have seats for, so there are more than thirty students in a group, and the tutor does not have time to listen to all the students.

The college follows NMC guidelines.
Tips: Students should know that the college follows NMC guidelines and must follow the FMGE rule. They should also know about the hostel facilities, total tuition fees, education system, total cost of study, and teaching methods before applying to the university. Because of the heavy snowfall in the area, a cab is an impractical and expensive mode of transportation. However, public transportation is a good option for students because it is safe, affordable, and provides access to all parts of the campus. There are not many part-time job opportunities for Indian students in Russia. There are not many vacancies for Indian students, and if we do get a job, it is very difficult to manage both our studies and work schedules.

The university is good and the tuition fees are reasonable.
Tips: The college is affordable, and the facilities are well-maintained. The weather can be a problem, but it can be managed with central heaters. The classrooms are spacious and well-ventilated. The buildings for classes are a bit far apart, so we use public transportation such as buses to get around. Once we get a student bus card, it won't be too expensive. We go to other buildings twice a week, and it's not too hard to catch the bus because we have mobile apps that show the bus arrival times. The professors are knowledgeable and helpful. The tuition fees are reasonable, especially when compared to other colleges in Russia. The fees are also lower than what they are in India, where the same course can cost crores. Another advantage is that the fees can be paid in instalments, which gives students enough time to pay. The campus is safe and secure. Overall, it is a good college with a positive learning environment.

The university is amazing and there are lot of extracurriculars for students.
Tips: The biggest cultural shift was in language. Most Russians don't speak or understand English, and even some of the teachers don't speak English. If you are one of the top 10 students, you can get a discount on your tuition fees. My university is nice, the teachers are helpful, and most of the Russians are friendly.
Likes (Part time work): On-campus students can work as translators if they have a good knowledge of the Russian language. Off-campus students have various work options, such as working in a factory or shop. The pay is quite good, for example, 2000-2500 per day, and it can vary depending on the location of the job.
Dislikes (Indian Food): As a vegetarian, I found very few vegetarian options available at this university. In fact, most of the vegetarian options were sweet, so I ended up cooking for myself most of the time. Some of the vegetarian options available were cheese bread, shorma, French fries, and milkshakes. Cheese bread costs between 100 and 300 rubles, depending on the place you eat. Shorma cost between 250 and 350 rubles, and French fries cost 250 rubles.

The university is really affordable and provides great education.
Tips: This is an average college that is good if you want a budget-friendly college. However, you will need to learn Russian because most people don't speak English here except for a few teachers who teach the main subjects. Also, there are no scholarships available right now, and no one has received any. Additionally, there is a major cultural shift after moving here.
Likes (Student Life): The classses are well-organized and cover a wide range of topics. The instructors are knowledgeable and engaging, and the coursework is challenging but not overwhelming. The university also offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including concerts, which help to create a well-rounded educational experience.
Dislikes (Part time work): The pay is not great, but it is possible to manage both work and academics. If you have a loan, working part-time is a good way to help pay for your education. There are off-campus opportunities available, such as working in ice cream factories for girls and ozone plants for boys.

College is new, not ready for 150-200 students every year.
Tips: The university is accredited, and students should try to connect with the alumni. Beware of student agents who may try to steer you toward a particular university. Use the university's official website to get more information. Don't be swayed by low tuition fees. Also, consider the city where the university is located, as it may not provide the international exposure you seek.
Likes (Safety): There are security cameras everywhere. Smoke detectors are in every room, and the fire alarm system is very efficient. The police are helpful and friendly towards Indian students. I never worried about walking alone at midnight in the city areas. There are very few cases of theft because the punishments are severe.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): After getting your degree, the highest salary you can earn in 2-3 years is 1 lakh per month. This is a low salary for doctors compared to other countries. If you want to earn more, you need to look for jobs in Moscow or Saint Petersburg. Another option is to pursue a career in dentistry, which offers higher earning potential. To broaden your employment opportunities, it is advisable to learn Russian as soon as possible.

The university is simple and basic.
Tips: There are no cultural shifts to speak of, as everything is the same for Indian students. There are no scholarships available now, but that may change in the future. The university is medium-sized, and according to the budget, it's not very good but medium. Students may find it quite boring in the early days.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): If we wanted to stay in Russia after graduation, we would have to take an exam in Russian. Like in India, it is difficult to pass the exam because of the Russian language. So if you want to stay in Russia, you need to focus on your studies.
Dislikes (Student Life): It is difficult to adjust to a new university. Also, students may find it difficult to acquire practical knowledge due to a lack of bodies for review. Students should study on their own.
