Strong academics and diverse faculty.
Tips: For Indian students, a valid NEET score is generally required. This is especially important if you plan to practice medicine in India after graduation. Students must have achieved a minimum of 50% in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) in their 12th-grade examinations or equivalent. Applicants must typically be 17 years of age or older by December 31st of the admission year. The medium of teaching is both English and Russian. Students should be prepared for potential exposure to the Russian language. Be prepared for a thorough document verification process, which includes providing a mark sheet, passport, birth certificate, and other necessary documents. Students will need to obtain a Russian student visa. This process can take time, so it's essential to start early. Understand the tuition fees and living expenses. Factor in the cost for accommodation, food, and other necessities. Moving to Russia involves adapting to a new culture and environment. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Safety): The safety and security situation in Russia is excellent. The Russian people are very friendly, and the police officers are always kind to the Indian community. You can even walk alone in the street in the middle of the night without fear, and you can find many Russian girls on the street out walking and having fun in the middle of the night on weekends, as well.
Dislikes (Part time work): To work in the part-time medical field, you need to pass an exam in your third year. But that's not all, if you want to work, you also need to know Russian because that's what they work with out there. There's a language barrier.

Perm State Medical University has many events on-campus and we celebrate Indian festivals as well.
Tips: In terms of culture, the shift was minor because we lived with people from the same community. This made the transition easier because we didn’t feel like we were too far away from home. Plus, we were able to celebrate all of our Indian festivals. I was not offered a scholarship, however, I found a decent, local agency that provided an allowance, and I was able to adjust to the new culture thanks to them. The faculty are helpful and positive, and their teaching methods are unique. They have an app for 3D virtual reality cases that lets you have hands-on practice. Furthermore, this is a diverse institution because the treatment protocols used vary from one country to another. The food is decent but soon your taste buds will give up as Indians we are used to getting spicier food.

Multicultural environment and academic oriented.
Tips: Be responsible academically, physically, and mentally, and bring exchange money to welcome you to the first day of class. You'll be living and learning in a foreign country, and you'll be able to try new things that you'd never do back home. I usually prefer cooking to eating out, but sadly, there aren’t many options available for Indian food in the area. What we find available is Russian or other, non-Indian food. The faculty are very helpful and will guide you throughout the semester however, a few of them can not teach in English so it might be difficult a times. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

One of the oldest universities in Russia that uses robotics to treat patients.
Tips: Everyone can Google our university name, and on the university website, everyone can check all the details before joining the university. It is one of the oldest universities in Russia and is recognized as being under 1000 in the world rankings. It is academically oriented, with all the teaching faculty members being very excellent. NEET exam qualifying marks are required to join our university.
Likes (Safety): Our campus security follows the rules of the Russian government. They provide us with all the facilities, and special CCTV cameras are installed all around our campus. Student safety is our university's first priority. The Dean of our university provides us with all the safety measures on campus. The city is beautiful, and the destination is excellent. It provides us with all the necessary things that we require in our daily lives.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The quality of our faculty is very good, and they are easily accessible. They teach us every subject with proper information and, according to our syllabus, clear all our doubts, take grand tests, and make sure our syllabus is ready for us. The teaching methodology in our university is unique in its own way. They teach us every subject thoroughly with rapid revision and conceptual understanding. Robotics are being used here and are also utilized in our hospital for treating patients as well.

The university is good. It has strong academics and the faculty are amazing.
Tips: After joining PSMU, I have changed a lot. I have experienced different cultures and had to manage my monthly expenses. Sometimes my expenses would end in the middle of the month, and I had to figure out how to survive without money. However, I was able to participate in a student exchange program that allowed me to travel to other countries. Overall, I am fully satisfied with my university.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at Perm State Medical University is amazing. Top surgeons from Russia teach us, and they all speak English. Classes are in two shifts, one in the morning and one in the evening. The schedule is hectic, but don't worry, the faculty at Psmu is excellent.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I usually cooked my own meals, but when I had classes, I sometimes ate out. The exchange rate between the ruble and the Indian rupee was about equal, so if your parents send you 20,000 rupees, you will receive about 20,000 rubles. There is an Indian restaurant in Perm called Lakshmi that serves good food at a reasonable price.

Challenging academics but caring community.
Tips: Students should be prepared to be independent before coming here. Things will get tough but eventually, everyone gets through that. But people here are so helpful and they try to understand you. There are always events and activities that students can participate in. But the best part for me is that I feel free to do things on my own. I feel very liberal and carefree here, and it really feels great. Overall it's a win place to study.
Dislikes (Student Life): The transportation at Perm State Medical University is very affordable and easily accessible, so students can get to their respective departments on time. The teaching is very diverse, as students from all over the world come here to pursue their medical degrees. Practical as well as theoretical courses are well taught here.
