What is the Value of Russian MBBS Degree in India?

MBBS in India is extremely valued and popular, especially among its own citizens. It comes with many advantages and very few cons. As a result, it may off as strange to many applicants, or perhaps never even strike their mind, to apply for a course in Russia. Several students lose out on this opportunity as a lack of awareness since Russia is not one of the most talked-about countries in India, especially in terms of education. Yet, it holds many treasures and maybe one of the best destinations for an undergraduate course in medicine.

Why Russia?

Russia, as a country, is very ahead in the field of technology and innovation, thus making its education for more advanced and adept for the modern world. It also houses some of the best medical schools in the world – in fact, it accounts for 30 medical schools in the top 100 medical schools of the world, and thus opening up a vast array of worthwhile options to students. With one of the best education systems, Russia exceeds a literacy rate of 95% as compared to other Western European nations

What makes studying Mbbs in Russia the most valuable and significant is that its easy, cheap, and flexible, without deteriorating its quality. No donations are required or asked by universities or asked for by Russian medical institutes during the admission process. This allows for a hassle-free process of application and thereby, reducing limitations. Another interesting benefit for Indians citizenries in the fact that the Russian government and its state universities fund up to 50% of the education for Indian students, but as a consequence, no grants or scholarships are available. The overall expenditure then boils down to roughly USD 4500-5500 annually, including food and accommodation.

The cost of tuition is not the only concern when moving out of the country to study. However, studying in Russia comes with other innumerable benefits as well. Some of these are –

• The admission process in Russia has been designed to be easy and hassle-free. Students do not have to take exams, but the admission is based on the student’s previous performance in school and on a first-come-first-serve basis. Even exams like SAT or IELTS is not a pre-requisite.
• Language often does not become a barrier in education as Russian universities as growing demand has led to more English-based courses to come up in universities. Students can they go on learning and practicing Russian for ease of communication
• People are often terrorized by social norms of different countries and cultures, but Russia’s culture accepts all. The concept of racism is not prominent, and the people of Russia stay rooted and attached to their cultural and social values of treating everyone well.
• Exposure is always a benefit when studying in a country like this as it provides an international experience while being recognized all over the world. Russian universities also keep low-strength and provide individual attention to their students.

The Russian Degree

An MBBS degree from Russia after schooling definitely provides the student with an internationally recognized certificate, equivalent to that in any other European country as a consequence of the laws of the Bologna Convention. The very first rule to consider is that the specific university a student is pursuing his/her degree from must be accepted by the Medical Council of India. Secondly, in order to practice medicine in India, one may have to clear the examination by the Medical Council of India to prove their skillset and the ability to cater to Indian needs. From June 2018 onwards, any student pursuing MBBS outside of the country with hopes of practicing in India must get through the NEET examination. Other than that, a screening test is also conducted by the MCI that has to be cleared before being a licensed doctor in India

Do Indian Citizens prefer such a Doctor?

In most cases, the preferences boil down to past experiences and the personal image of a doctor and not the degree. There is neither anything glorifying or degrading about holding a Russian degree in the eyes of the Indian masses. Most hospitals recruiting will consider your grades, your knowledge, and your ability to handle the profession first. If practicing individually, it generally sprouts on a word-of-mouth basis.

Despite this fact, what drives many Indians outside of the country to study is the limited number of seats available in MBBS every year. There are only about 50,000 to 70,000 seats per year when tens of lakhs of students apply every year. When a student does not get a government-funded seat, Russia becomes the best option for it is cheaper and more valuable than applying for a private MBBS college within India.
