Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about MBBS at Far Eastern Federal University
From FEFU's own orders on dvfu.ru. Order No. 12-13-1450 of 29 May 2026 sets the 2026/2027 first-year price for full-time General Medicine taught in English (31.05.01). FEFU raises continuing students' fees by a separate order each year, so years 2 to 6 in the table repeat the first-year price as an estimate. The hostel row is the middle of FEFU's "Student" tariff for its Russky Island campus buildings (order No. 12-13-1936 of 4 September 2024, in force since 1 September 2024), which prices a bed by the month, from a place in a four-bed suite to a single room. Ask FEFU in writing which building you will live in and at what rate, and contact A.J Trust for an exact current quote.
"NMC approved" is not a status that exists - NMC publishes no approved list of foreign universities and says so on its own study-abroad page. What decides your registration in India is whether your degree meets the FMGL-2021 criteria: at least 54 months of study, a 12-month internship at the same institution, English medium, and a qualification licensing you to practise in Russia, followed by a 12-month supervised internship in India. Far Eastern Federal University is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (FAIMER SCHOOL ID F0003669). Run the full FMGL-2021 checklist at nmc.org.in before paying anything - A.J Trust verifies these criteria for every university it recommends.
The estimated annual tuition fee at Far Eastern Federal University is $6,080. Including estimated hostel ($890/year) and medical insurance ($190/year), the estimated 6-year package is $42,900. These are indicative estimates — contact A.J Trust for exact current fees.
International students study on an English-medium track where the university runs one. Diplomas are issued in Russian, and at Volgograd State Medical University the State Final Attestation is held in Russian even on the English track. Russian is taught as a foreign language; ask the university in which years. Before you pay, get Far Eastern Federal University to confirm in writing the language of every year, the internship and the final exams.
There is no university-specific minimum NEET score. However, India's NMC mandates a valid qualifying NEET score for all foreign MBBS admissions - minimum 50th percentile for General/EWS, 45th percentile for PwD, and 40th percentile for SC/ST/OBC categories. A.J Trust can assess your eligibility based on your actual NEET score.
The MBBS programme (awarded as 'Doctor of Medicine' in Russia) at Far Eastern Federal University is 6 years.
