One of main reason is that in Russia most of the medical universities are approved from Medical Council of India (MCI) and as such after passing MBBS from Russia, students can practice in India just by clearing the screening test that are conducted by MCI. So students who cannot qualify NEET in India or who did not get admission in the government medical college in India, prefers to go to Russia for getting the prestigious MBBS degree from Russia. The cost of pursuing MBBS in the private college in India is very high. You need 70-80 Lakhs for MBBS course in the private medical college in India whereas you can complete MBBS in 20-50 Lakhs in Russia. Only thing is that you have to clear the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) after passing out MBBS in Russia in order to practice in India.

Russian medical university gives more emphasis on clinical training to their students rather than the theoretical approach. This clinical training helps students to become expert in maintaining rapport with the patients, taking a comprehensive history from the patient, decision making on the various options of treatment, etc. Apart from that Russians are very welcoming community and they respect and help the foreigner especially Indians as their own family members. In Russia there are no religious issues and you will not found any incidence of racism in any Russian medical universities. Thus Russia is a safe place to study for Indians.
