MB Patil & RACUS Partner to Bring Top Russian Medical Universities to India
Every year, around 4,000 to 5,000 Indian students join Russian universities to study medicine, because of a few reasons: first, only a limited number of MBBS seats in the Indian government medical colleges; secondly, financial constraints; and thirdly, a ceaseless flame of desire to work in India as a doctor after completing the studies abroad. But behind these discussions, the less-known advantage of studying and living in Russia is, of course, its great education system.
Since long ago, Russia has been reputable for providing education to the best in medicine, technology, science, and arts because of its very strong educational system. The Bloomberg Survey ranks the higher education system of Russia as number three in the whole world.
However, there is still a very disciplined classical approach in teaching at Russian universities, despite advanced high-tech stuff. Besides, education for foreign students receives up to an 80% subsidy from the Russian government, which makes medical education in Russia relatively cheap when compared to other foreign destinations. Such universities provide free hostel accommodation, which reduces students' additional cost burden.
The two nations, thanks to historic and strong ties, have developed educational cooperation. The two countries are working to enhance the quality of education for Indian students in Russia through joint conferences and inter-governmental collaborations. Their efforts, however, are directed at Increasing the FMGE pass rate, Improving Admission Process, Strengthening Post-admission Management, and Upgrading Hostels among others.
Both organizations have made commitments toward working to address Indian students and their families concerning quality, transparency, and safe education in Russia. Having had established teams in both India and Russia, MB Patil Education and RACUS are dedicated to changing the course of Indian students who wish to complete their MBBS in Russia. Other than taking care of admissions, the collaboration would aim at deepening education exchange between the two countries, keeping in mind the long-term plans set by the governments of India and Russia.
This would be a new dawn in the relationship of trust and excellence in overseas medical education, giving Indian students the fairest chances to fulfill their dreams of becoming promising professional doctors.
