One of the first things students or parents ask us is whether the university is MCI recognized. However, in 2021, the MCI has been replaced by NMC. Now, NMC does not maintain any list of recognized universities for MBBS abroad. When the list was maintained, there were about 55 MCI recognized medical universities in Russia. However, just like in any other country including India, there are good, average, and bad medical universities in Russia. Every university is not suitable for Indian students.
