Pune (Maharashtra) [India], March 17: Every year, approximately 4,000 to 5,000 Indian students choose Russian universities for their medical education. The primary reasons for this preference include limited MBBS seats in Indian government medical colleges, financial constraints, and a strong determination to practice medicine in India after completing their education abroad. However, beyond these factors, there is an often-overlooked advantage of studying and living in Russia--its world-class education system.
