MBBS - Batch of 2025

I am not satisfied with my university because the teaching style is not good.
Tips: I have seen a transition since I arrived. When I first got here, the students were very conservative. Now they are not as conservative, and they respect other students' opinions. However, you can find all types of people on campus. It's easy to find a job in this city. The population is small, and many restaurants and factories are always looking for workers. The local population is also very helpful in providing work for students. I did not receive a scholarship from the university, and I am not satisfied with the quality of education I am receiving.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I gave a low rating for Indian food because the university has very limited vegetarian food options. They do prepare some food without meat, but it is not very good. They take out the meat and add potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and other vegetables, which don't taste very good. In the end, it was difficult to find food that I liked.

MBBS - Batch of 2028

The university is good and there are activities held on campus.
Tips: Before joining, students should know that the location of the university is important, as is the weather. The infrastructure is good, and the marking system is different from other countries. Students are allowed to retake exams twice. If a student does not attend class, they are not allowed to sit in class. You should try to connect with the faculty regarding the syllabus and coursework. Also, participate in events and activities and try to make some connections.
Likes (Indian Food): The price of food is affordable, but vegetables are expensive, especially seasonal vegetables and fruits. Depending on your mood, you can cook your own food in the hotel or eat out. There is an Indian restaurant nearby.
Dislikes (Internships): The university provided hospital training, which helped me prepare for the internship. I also had to keep a journal of my activities. The university provided guidance throughout the internship and gave me a test after the internship was completed.

It is a budget friendly university with great curriculum.
Tips: Before coming, students should understand that self-study is the key to success. There are all types of people in this country, so it's up to you to choose the right friends. Also, start preparing for the FMGE exam as soon as your third year because the syllabus is vast.
Likes (Safety): I gave Kabardino-Balkarian State University five stars for safety because the city is very conservative. Most of the streets are empty after 11 PM, and the people who live here are very cultured. This is the best city for girls because I've seen many Indian girls walking around at midnight without any problems and feeling safe.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Most of the faculty are residents and doctors who have just completed their post-graduation and have no teaching experience. Additionally, only a few faculty members speak English, which makes it difficult for students to understand their lectures. The education system here is very different from the one in India.

The university has great infrastructure and campus and the people are very friendly.
Tips: The university has a good campus and a good feel to it. The hostel fee is very affordable at only 13000 for the year. The faculty are good and well educated, and they speak good English so they are easy to understand. Overall, I am quite satisfied here with the experience.
Likes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are easily available in Russia. We only need to learn Russian to work here. Jobs like apple picking, cucumber picking, and wheat harvesting are available. Part-time jobs are also available in cafes as cooks and waiters at good wages. The jobs are easy.
Dislikes (Internships): The only disappointing aspect of studying at Kabardino-Balkarian State University is the lack of practical knowledge exposure. This is a common problem with studying abroad, but it's especially disappointing because the faculty is excellent. The internship program provides 20 days of internship, which is a good start.

University is very supportive and maintains its rules and regulations very strictly.
Tips: Students should be aware of the rules and regulations of the university. They should also know the admission criteria and the documents required for admission. The university is very helpful and supportive in all of these processes. Post-study jobs in Russia are good, but only if you plan to stay in Russia after graduation. If you plan to return to India, you will need to consider the exchange rate between the Russian ruble and the Indian rupee. This is because your salary will be lower in India than it would be in Russia, and the cost of living is slightly higher in Russia than in India. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Part time work): There are many opportunities for students to find part-time jobs that can supplement their income. The university allows you to work part-time, and there are many options for students to find work in their free time.

The university and faculties are good but it's main focus is towards studies.
Tips: The first thing a student needs to know about a university is the admission requirements. To apply to this university, a student must have passed the 12th grade and qualified for the NEET in India. After being accepted, the student needs to be aware of the rules and regulations of the university and the country where they will be studying. When you consider post-study jobs in Russia, it is important to think about your long-term plans. If you plan to stay in Russia after graduation, then the job prospects are good. However, if you plan to return to India, then you will need to consider the exchange rate between the Russian ruble and the Indian rupee. This is because your salary will be lower in India than it would be in Russia, and the cost of living is slightly higher in Russia than in India.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is good here. It is affordable and convenient. We use it for our daily commute to class and other places. The best thing is that public transportation starts early in the morning and runs until late in the evening, which is very helpful.
