Hi Pulkit,
You can get admission in Russia. MCI gives acknowledgement to students from NIOS to appear for MCI screening. But, this rule might change from next year.
So, if you are going this year, you might get acceptance.

Yes NIOS students can give the NEET exam, NIOS is a board at par with other recognized boards in India.

For any degree course you will need to clear your 12th, so you should focus on the same.

The main advantage is it saves your year of education but full-time education has little higher value in India in terms of higher education and jobs.

Hi,
You will follow the same process like any other applicant, however, you need to first check with the desired universities/colleges if NIOS will be accepted. Different universities/colleges have different admission requirements, while some colleges may accept NIOS qualification others may not.
