MCI is an acronym of the Medical Council of India. It is a statutory board that has been established to maintain standards in medical education. It focuses on promoting and maintaining excellence in medical education. MCI has certain standards, and every institute present in India makes sure to follow it. But what about foreign countries? There are a lot of students who want to pursue MBBS in foreign countries like Russia. The main reason for mentioning Russia here is because it is the most preferred destination for MBBS among so many students.

How can MCI ensure that students get the right education in foreign countries? It conducts a test for all the students who have completed their MBBS abroad, and this screening test will help in evaluating the performance of students. If students fail this screening test, then they won’t be allowed to practice medicine in India. There is another thing that students have to know about this test. Every student who attends a foreign country university is not eligible for MCI. The students must study in an MCI approved college only.

MCI checks the university standards and then approves them for students. If any college isn’t approved by MCI, then the students who completed their MBBS there are not eligible to attend MCI screening test, and hence they cannot practice in India.

Students have to pay the tuition fee only, and that too is subsidized by the government. This way, a lot of financial burdens are reduced for the parents and students will be able to get the best Education without worrying about their financial status.

Parents of the students have to worry about tuition fees alone, but the best part is that the government subsidizes this tuition fee too. Government of Russia provides a subsidy of 70 percent in the tuition fee, which makes it easy for the parents to pay. The average tuition fee starts at 2-3 lacs in a university and can extend up to 8 lacs too. This is quite affordable for MBBS. When compared to Indian colleges, the Russian Universities have very fewer fees, and with government subsidy, MBBS became affordable to everyone without worrying about the financials.
