Study Abroad

Northwestern University doesn't specify any minimum GPA required for admission. The selection process is based on academic rigor, essays, recommendations, mandatory documents, along GPA. Applicants must also make sure to fulfill additional requirements as per their choice of program, for example, they must have a bachelor's degree for PG programs and a high school certificate for UG programs. Moreover, they must have English proficiency test scores as a mandatory requirement.   

International students in Russia can legally work up to 20 hours per week during the academic session and full-time during holidays, provided they have a valid student visa and (if off-campus) a work permit.

International students are allowed to work a maximum of 20 hours per week or 4 hours a day in Russia. This is in line with the general part time work hour limit in other popular European countries. 

International students are advised to stay within the allowed part time work hour limit, as failing to do so, may lead to the revocation of their Russia study visa and consequently, deportation from the country.     

KSMU Russia had a very respectable FMGE pass percentage for the year 2023. The Kemerovo State Medical University FMGE pass percentage of Indian students stood at 40.91% for 2023, per the official data made available by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences. 

Per the official stats, of the 22 students who appeared for the FMGE exam in 2023, 9 were able to successfully clear the same. 

Kemerovo State Medical University can be considered an ideal place to study for Indian students seeking affordable medical studies. 

The MBBS cost is way lower as compared to some reputed Indian medical institutions, and students are free to come back and practice in India, after the completion of their studies, after a successful clearance of the FMGE exam.

It also allows students to expand their horizons, gaining a good understanding of the European culture, and the standard of medical education in the world. 

Overall, KSMU Russia is certainly a viable option for Indian students seeking medical education abroad. 

Students planning to study abroad must have a general idea about their expenses and how they are going to fund themselves. They must have an idea of the estimated cost of daily needs. The table below lists down the estimated cost of attendance while studying at Northwestern University:
