MBBS - Batch of 2026
4.9
High ranked university with best faculty. Best hostel campus with best facilities.
Tips: The people of Kazan are very good and helpful in every way. The city has good transportation, including metro, bus, and tram service. However, you will need to learn some Russian as most people in the markets and local areas speak Russian. Also, be prepared to do some of your own cooking as you will not find many places that serve Indian food. I am very satisfied with my university and the beautiful city of Kazan.
Likes (Indian Food): In the city, all types of cuisine are available, including Indian, Italian, Russian, American, and European. We mostly do self-cooking, as we are provided with good kitchen facilities in our hostel. We can get all the groceries we need easily around our campus and at good prices.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are mostly food/grocery deliveries part-time in the Yandex market and students can work part-time in a pizza outlet / Burger King / KFC in their free time and during vacation time. Mostly we don't feel the burden of studying during our semester and we can manage the time easily for study and work.

MBBS - Batch of 2026
2.5
The coursework is challenging, and some classes are harder than others. It's tough to pass in exams.
Tips: It is really hard to adjust to the cold climate here, especially during the winter. Getting up early in the morning and going to college is very difficult. Also, half of the students in our university fail their first and second years. On the positive side, life is good and easygoing once you get past the first two years. Just make sure you study for your classes. Also, international students don't get scholarships here, but you can get one from your state back home. Lastly, the hospitals are far apart, so you'll have to travel a lot. You'll also have to cook your own food and do your own laundry and cleaning. Overall, it has been a good experience.
Likes (Part time work): You will have free time to work during holidays and during winter. The pay is good and it is hourly basis, the cost of living is not too expensive, and the people are friendly and willing to help you. You can also work during weekends.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There is no Indian food or canteen available, and no mess hall. Indian restaurants are very expensive and can't be a daily choice. Cooking every day while attending classes is impossible. Indian food is not available, so if you don't like Russian food, you won't survive. You can't eat out every day, so make sure you know how to cook. Also, you can't find your country's spices, so bring them with you.
