Therefore, it is better to apply early to get admission to top Russian medical colleges.
NOTE: Many agents promote “Subsidized Fees” with the Russian medical universities. In this scheme, they ask the students to pay 6 years MBBS fees together with a discount. CEC always warns the student that there is no such system by the Russian Medical University having “subsidized fees”. The amount would be kept by the agent and ultimately you would end us in trouble when they do not pay the fees to the university on your behalf.
Disclaimer: Mahaveer Education would like to remind you that MBBS fees in Indian Rupees may not be accurate and may differ from the actual price. Exchange rates are volatile and are subject to change. Check the Exchange Rates before initiating the admission process.
