Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about MBBS at Novosibirsk SMU
"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. Novosibirsk SMU is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (FAIMER SCHOOL ID F0000083). 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 Novosibirsk SMU is $4,700. Including estimated hostel ($1,800/year) and medical insurance ($190/year), the estimated 6-year package is $40,100. 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 Novosibirsk SMU 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 Novosibirsk SMU is 6 years.
