MBBS - Batch of 2025

3.1

I am not satisfied with my university because the teaching style is not good.

Tips: I have seen a transition since I arrived. When I first got here, the students were very conservative. Now they are not as conservative, and they respect other students' opinions. However, you can find all types of people on campus. It's easy to find a job in this city. The population is small, and many restaurants and factories are always looking for workers. The local population is also very helpful in providing work for students. I did not receive a scholarship from the university, and I am not satisfied with the quality of education I am receiving.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I gave a low rating for Indian food because the university has very limited vegetarian food options. They do prepare some food without meat, but it is not very good. They take out the meat and add potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and other vegetables, which don't taste very good. In the end, it was difficult to find food that I liked.

The university is good and there are activities held on campus.

Tips: Before joining, students should know that the location of the university is important, as is the weather. The infrastructure is good, and the marking system is different from other countries. Students are allowed to retake exams twice. If a student does not attend class, they are not allowed to sit in class. You should try to connect with the faculty regarding the syllabus and coursework. Also, participate in events and activities and try to make some connections.

Likes (Indian Food): The price of food is affordable, but vegetables are expensive, especially seasonal vegetables and fruits. Depending on your mood, you can cook your own food in the hotel or eat out. There is an Indian restaurant nearby.

Dislikes (Internships): The university provided hospital training, which helped me prepare for the internship. I also had to keep a journal of my activities. The university provided guidance throughout the internship and gave me a test after the internship was completed.

MBBS - Batch of 2029

2.5

Kabadino Balkarian State University is very poor and the faculty have no interest in teaching.

Tips: This college is a good option if you have qualified for NEET but are not getting a seat in India. However, there is no study here. You have to study by yourself. The quality and system of teaching are not even comparable to India. You come here to get an MBBS degree and then leave.

Likes (Safety): I felt safe on campus because there was no violence or terrorism, and the police were helpful. There was very little theft, and I even found money on the road.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): I rated the quality of the faculty low because they are not very good. They don't know what to teach, and the syllabus is not in accordance with the Indian curriculum. Also, they don't speak good English, which makes it difficult to understand them. Another issue is that there is a system called DO which means if you fail a course, you have to pay a compulsory fee.

It is a budget friendly university with great curriculum.

Tips: Before coming, students should understand that self-study is the key to success. There are all types of people in this country, so it's up to you to choose the right friends. Also, start preparing for the FMGE exam as soon as your third year because the syllabus is vast.

Likes (Safety): I gave Kabardino-Balkarian State University five stars for safety because the city is very conservative. Most of the streets are empty after 11 PM, and the people who live here are very cultured. This is the best city for girls because I've seen many Indian girls walking around at midnight without any problems and feeling safe.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Most of the faculty are residents and doctors who have just completed their post-graduation and have no teaching experience. Additionally, only a few faculty members speak English, which makes it difficult for students to understand their lectures. The education system here is very different from the one in India.

The university has great infrastructure and campus and the people are very friendly.

Tips: The university has a good campus and a good feel to it. The hostel fee is very affordable at only 13000 for the year. The faculty are good and well educated, and they speak good English so they are easy to understand. Overall, I am quite satisfied here with the experience.

Likes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are easily available in Russia. We only need to learn Russian to work here. Jobs like apple picking, cucumber picking, and wheat harvesting are available. Part-time jobs are also available in cafes as cooks and waiters at good wages. The jobs are easy.

Dislikes (Internships): The only disappointing aspect of studying at Kabardino-Balkarian State University is the lack of practical knowledge exposure. This is a common problem with studying abroad, but it's especially disappointing because the faculty is excellent. The internship program provides 20 days of internship, which is a good start.

The ambience is good but not the academics.

Tips: I didn't experience any cultural differences, and people are used to Indians here. However, you can't celebrate your festivals like you do in your home country, especially if you're from India. If you get a degree here, you can easily settle here. Anyone would be happy to move here. I didn't get any scholarships. Other than that, I was satisfied with everything except academics, because they don't teach anything and you have to prepare from the materials they give you.

Dislikes (Part time work): I rated the opportunities for part-time work low because there are students who work in fields on weekends and they get really low pay. So, yes, managing part-time work and academics cannot go hand in hand. Also, if you are working in the fields, you might have to work long hours on weekends and miss classes. That can lead to lower grades.
