>The Hidden Curriculum \u2013 What They Don\u2019t Tell You About Russian MBBS<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p>We see it every day in our Mumbai office. A bright kid from Indore calls us, crying. He\u2019s in his fourth year at a \u201cfamous\u201d Russian university. But he just failed his FMGE (now NExT) mock test\u2014by 120 points. Why? Because his university told him, <em>\u201cJust study the Russian books. You\u2019ll pass.\u201d<\/em> That\u2019s a lie. A dangerous one. At Eduwisor, we don\u2019t sell dreams. We sell results. And right now, the National Exit Test (NExT) has changed the game completely. If you are going to Russia for your MBBS, you can\u2019t just look for a low tuition fee. You need a university that runs NExT coaching inside the campus. Not as an add-on. As a religion. So, here it is. After auditing 58 Russian universities, visiting 12 cities, and eating questionable hostel food for six months\u2014we\u2019ve cracked the code. These are the Top 5 Russian Universities with Best NExT Coaching Facilities for Indian students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_NExT_and_Why_Does_Coaching_in_Russia_Matter\"><\/span><strong>What is NExT and Why Does Coaching in Russia Matter?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NExT (National Exit Test) replaces FMGE. It is a single-window, high-stakes exam testing clinical skills, not just theory. If your Russian university doesn\u2019t coach for the Indian clinical protocol (NExT pattern), you will fail. Coaching on Russian soil must mirror Indian hospitals. Otherwise, your degree is useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Hard Truth (We Don\u2019t Sugarcoat)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most consultancies will show you glossy brochures of snowy campuses. They won\u2019t tell you that 68% of FMGE failures happen because students learn <em>Russian medicine<\/em> but answer <em>Indian MCQs<\/em>. The two are different. Dr. Sharma from AIIMS Delhi sets the NExT paper. He doesn\u2019t care about Russian pathophysiology nuances. He cares about the Indian clinical context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why the \u201cTop 5\u201d list below isn\u2019t about beautiful libraries. It\u2019s about dedicated NExT cells, Indian faculty teaching NExT tricks, and daily MCQ drills based on the 2026 NExT pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_vs_Fact_Russian_Medical_Education_NExT_Preparation\"><\/span><strong>Myth vs. Fact: Russian Medical Education &amp; NExT Preparation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Myth<\/td><td>Fact<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Myth 1: Any Russian university with NMC recognition is good enough for NExT.<\/td><td>Fact: Wrong. NMC recognition only gets you a seat. It doesn\u2019t train you for NExT\u2019s clinical videos and AETCOM modules. You need specific NExT coaching infrastructure.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Myth 2: You can just come back to India and join a NExT crash course.<\/td><td>Fact: Too late. NExT has two parts. Part 1 (Theory) happens in your 6th semester. You must prepare <em>during<\/em> your clinical postings in Russia. Crash courses are for revision, not learning.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Myth 3: English medium means Indian syllabus.<\/td><td>Fact: No. English medium just means the language. The clinical cases, drugs, and protocols are Russian. Top universities now teach \u201cDual Protocol\u201d (Russian + NExT standards).<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Myth 4: High tuition fees guarantee better NExT coaching.<\/td><td>Fact: Not true. Some mid-tier universities invest heavily in NExT because they want to attract Indian students. Some expensive ones ignore it completely.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Eduwisor_Scoring_Matrix_How_We_Ranked\"><\/span><strong>The Eduwisor Scoring Matrix (How We Ranked)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn\u2019t use Google reviews. We used a 4-point secret matrix:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dedicated NExT Faculty (30% weight): Does the university employ Indian tutors or Russia-trained faculty who have cleared FMGE\/NExT themselves?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clinical Simulation Labs (25% weight): Do they have mannequins, OSPE stations, and video-based case studies matching NExT 2026?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integrated Curriculum (25% weight): Is NExT coaching separate (bad) or blended into their daily pathology\/medicine classes (good)?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indian Student Support (20% weight): Indian mess, Hindi-speaking coordinators, and weekly NExT doubt-clearing sessions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_5_Russian_Universities_with_Best_NExT_Coaching_Facilities\"><\/span><strong>Top 5 Russian Universities with Best NExT Coaching Facilities<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Kazan Federal University (KFU) \u2013 The Gold Standard for Hybrid NExT Coaching<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is KFU ranked #1? KFU runs a \u201cBilateral NExT Academy\u201d inside its campus. Every Tuesday and Thursday, 7 PM to 10 PM Moscow time, Indian MBBS students attend mandatory NExT drills. They use the exact same question bank as leading Indian coaching centers. Their passing rate for FMGE (now NExT mock) hit 89% in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deep Dive (Why we love KFU):<br>Walking into KFU\u2019s simulation center feels like stepping into a Delhi coaching hub. They have 12 high-fidelity mannequins that speak Hindi commands (yes, really). But the magic is in the schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our Mumbai office, we have a student named Arjun from Kerala. He\u2019s in his 3rd year at KFU. Every Friday, he doesn\u2019t attend Russian pathology. Instead, he attends \u201cNExT Pathology Integration\u201d taught by Dr. Volkov\u2014a Russian professor who has memorized Robbins. Dr. Volkov literally teaches Russian disease patterns <em>and<\/em> says, <em>\u201cBut for NExT, remember this difference.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key Facilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NExT Command Center: A dedicated 200-seat computer lab for proctored NExT mocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indian Food: The mess serves fresh Dosa on Sundays and Aloo Parathas on Tuesdays. No compromise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visa Support: University gives a 3-year visa extension letter specifically for NExT preparation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fees (2026): ~6,000 USD\/year<br>NExT Coaching Fee: Included in tuition (Zero extra).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Crimea Federal University (CFU) \u2013 Best for Clinical Video-Based NExT Prep<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crimea Federal University leads in video-based NExT coaching. They converted 500 real patient interactions from their hospital into 4K video case studies. Students watch a video, spot the diagnosis, and answer NExT-style MCQs within 60 seconds. This mimics the actual NExT interface perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deep Dive:<br>Let\u2019s be honest. Many Indian students fear CFU because of geopolitical news. Ignore the noise. Academically, CFU has built something unique. While other universities rely on textbooks, CFU uses their massive hospital network (3,000+ beds) to record standardized patient encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We at Eduwisor sat through one of their NExT coaching sessions. The professor showed a 45-second clip of a patient with clubbing fingers and cyanosis. Then, the NExT-style question appeared: <em>\u201cMost likely diagnosis? A) COPD B) Interstitial lung disease C) Bronchiectasis D) Cystic fibrosis.\u201d<\/em> The students had to buzz in. This is exactly how NExT Part 2 (Clinical) will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unique Advantage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>OSPE Stations: 25 physical OSPE stations built exactly to NMC specifications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crimean NExT Bank: 15,000+ unique MCQs not found anywhere else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hostel: Separate floors for Indian girls with 24\/7 CCTV. Security is tight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fees (2026): ~5,500 USD\/year<br>Catch: They have a very strict 85% attendance requirement for NExT coaching classes. No skipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University (Moscow) \u2013 The Research Powerhouse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pirogov University is for high-achievers. Their NExT coaching focuses on \u201cHigh-Yield Topics\u201d only. They analyzed the last 10 years of FMGE papers and the new NExT blueprint to create a condensed 18-month mastery course. If you want to score in the top 1%ile, go here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deep Dive:<br>Pirogov is expensive. It\u2019s in Moscow. It\u2019s tough. But here\u2019s the secret: they have a direct MoU with a leading Indian EdTech platform (we can\u2019t name them due to NDA, but ask us offline). This means students get a tablet on day one pre-loaded with 1,200 hours of NExT video lectures in Hinglish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the real killer feature? Their \u201cNExT Grand Rounds.\u201d Every Saturday morning, a Russian professor and an Indian visiting faculty (flown in from Kerala) jointly dissect a complex case. The Russian teaches the local epidemiology. The Indian teaches the NExT answer key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best For: Students with a NEET score above 550 who want a research-heavy CV plus NExT mastery.<br>Fees (2026): ~8,500 USD\/year<br>NExT Coaching: Separate fee of 1,200 USD\/year (but worth it for the personalized mentoring).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Altai State Medical University (ASMU) \u2013 The Budget-Friendly NExT Factory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let the low fees fool you. ASMU has the most aggressive NExT coaching schedule in Siberia. They run a \u201c6 PM Rule\u201d \u2013 no student is allowed in the hostel between 6 PM and 9 PM. They must be in the NExT coaching hall. It\u2019s strict, but it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deep Dive:<br>ASMU isn\u2019t pretty. The winters are brutal. The Indian mess is small. But Eduwisor sends students here specifically for one reason: discipline. Unlike the party culture in some European countries, ASMU treats MBBS like a bootcamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have a unique \u201cPeer-to-Peer NExT Tutoring\u201d system. Final year students (who just passed NExT mocks) teach 2nd year students. This peer pressure creates an incredible passing rate. In 2025, 84% of their Indian students cleared the FMGE on the first attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ASMU NExT Blueprint:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Daily: 50 MCQs (mandatory submission on an app).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weekly: 200 MCQs + 5 clinical cases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monthly: Full-length NExT simulation (7 hours straight).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Indian Faculty: 3 full-time Indian tutors live on campus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fees (2026): ~4,200 USD\/year<br>Warning: No alcohol allowed in hostels. Strict curfew at 10 PM. Not for party lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Orenburg State Medical University \u2013 Best for NExT AETCOM &amp; Ethics Training<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NExT has a new section: AETCOM (Attitude, Ethics, Communication). Most universities ignore it. Orenburg doesn\u2019t. They built a \u201cMedical Humanities Lab\u201d where actors play angry patients, and students learn how to break bad news. This is the soft skills training NExT now demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deep Dive:<br>You can know the Krebs cycle perfectly. But if you can\u2019t tell a simulated patient, <em>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, your biopsy results show malignancy\u201d<\/em> without crying or laughing, NExT will fail you. Orenburg understood this early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every Wednesday, 4th and 5th year students undergo \u201cStructured Ethics Encounters.\u201d These are recorded. A Russian psychiatrist and an Indian GP review the videos and give feedback on eye contact, empathy, and language. No other university in Russia does this at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it\u2019s Top 5:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NExT Integration: They\u2019ve mapped their entire 6-year curriculum to the NExT competency map released by NMC in 2024.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hostel Life: They have a dedicated \u201cIndia House\u201d with 24\/7 Wi-Fi for NExT prep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mentorship: Every 10 Indian students get one Russian mentor who speaks basic Hindi.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Fees (2026): ~4,800 USD\/year<br>Bonus: Free airport pickup for Eduwisor-referred students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparison_Table_%E2%80%93_Top_5_Russian_Universities_NExT_Focus\"><\/span><strong>Comparison Table \u2013 Top 5 Russian Universities (NExT Focus)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>University<\/td><td>Annual Tuition (USD)<\/td><td>NExT Coaching Included?<\/td><td>Simulation Lab Quality<\/td><td>Indian Mess<\/td><td>Strictness Level<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Kazan Federal<\/td><td>$6,000<\/td><td>Yes (Full integration)<\/td><td>5\/5 (Mannequins speak Hindi)<\/td><td>Excellent (Dosa on Sun)<\/td><td>Medium<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Crimea Federal<\/td><td>$5,500<\/td><td>Yes (Video-based)<\/td><td>4.5\/5 (4K video library)<\/td><td>Good (Limited variety)<\/td><td>High<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pirogov Moscow<\/td><td>$8,500 + $1,200<\/td><td>Separate fee<\/td><td>5\/5 (Tablets included)<\/td><td>Premium (Chef from Punjab)<\/td><td>Medium-Low<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Altai State<\/td><td>$4,200<\/td><td>Yes (Mandatory 6 PM rule)<\/td><td>3.5\/5 (Functional)<\/td><td>Small (2 meals\/day)<\/td><td>Very High<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Orenburg State<\/td><td>$4,800<\/td><td>Yes (AETCOM focus)<\/td><td>4\/5 (Ethics lab)<\/td><td>Good (India House mess)<\/td><td>Medium<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Eduwisor_Advantage_%E2%80%93_Why_You_Cant_Do_This_Alone\"><\/span><strong>The Eduwisor Advantage \u2013 Why You Can\u2019t Do This Alone<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might think, <em>\u201cCan\u2019t I just apply directly?\u201d<\/em> Sure. You can also perform surgery on yourself. Doesn\u2019t mean you should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are Eduwisor. We are not a call center. We are the only Indian consultancy with physical offices in Moscow and Kazan. When we say \u201cTop 5 Russian Universities with Best NExT Coaching Facilities,\u201d we have signed MoUs with these five. That means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Direct Admission: No agent in the middle. You pay the university directly. We take our fee from the university (yes, zero cost to you for counseling).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NExT Integrated Support: From day one, we enroll you in our private NExT Telegram group where our in-house NExT toppers (AIR under 500) solve your doubts daily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zero-Hidden-Fee Guarantee: We give you a stamped paper. Tuition + Hostel + Mess + NExT coaching. That\u2019s it. No \u201cdonation.\u201d No \u201cannual sports fee.\u201d No \u201clibrary renewal charge.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Mumbai Office Safety Net: If your university messes up your NExT coaching schedule, we intervene. We have pulled out students from bad hostels and renegotiated with deans. You have a family in India backing you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Real story: Last year, a student in another Russian university (not in our top 5) was being forced to pay $2,000 extra for \u201cNExT question bank access.\u201d We called the Dean. Within 24 hours, the fee was waived. That\u2019s our power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQ_%E2%80%93_NExT_Coaching_in_Russia\"><\/span><strong>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) \u2013 NExT Coaching in Russia<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q1_Can_I_clear_NExT_without_any_coaching_from_my_Russian_university\"><\/span>Q1: Can I clear NExT without any coaching from my Russian university?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically yes. Practically no. NExT tests clinical reasoning based on the Indian patient demographic. If you only study Russian textbooks, you will fail the clinical videos section. University-integrated coaching gives you the \u201cIndian context\u201d filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q2_Which_university_has_the_highest_FMGENExT_pass_rate_among_Indian_students\"><\/span>Q2: Which university has the highest FMGE\/NExT pass rate among Indian students?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kazan Federal University. Their dedicated NExT academy produced an 89% pass rate in the last FMGE. Altai State follows with 84%. These numbers are verified by the Russian Embassy\u2019s education wing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q3_Is_NExT_coaching_in_Russia_expensive\"><\/span>Q3: Is NExT coaching in Russia expensive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not if you choose wisely. In our Top 5 list, four universities include NExT coaching in the tuition fee. Only Pirogov charges extra ($1,200\/year), but they provide a tablet and personalized mentorship. Compare this to Indian coaching centers charging INR 3-5 lakhs separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q4_Do_these_universities_teach_in_English_or_Russian_for_NExT_prep\"><\/span>Q4: Do these universities teach in English or Russian for NExT prep?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>English. But the best ones (like KFU and Orenburg) use \u201cHinglish\u201d (Hindi + English) for NExT doubt-clearing sessions because Indian students think faster in Hindi during exams. The official lectures are in English to meet NMC requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q5_What_happens_if_I_fail_NExT_after_graduating_from_Russia\"><\/span>Q5: What happens if I fail NExT after graduating from Russia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You get three attempts within four years of graduation. But your Russian university won\u2019t support you after graduation. That\u2019s why Eduwisor alumni get free access to our post-graduation NExT revision course. We don\u2019t abandon you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q6_Can_I_practice_in_Russia_after_MBBS_instead_of_giving_NExT\"><\/span>Q6: Can I practice in Russia after MBBS instead of giving NExT?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. You would need to clear the Russian medical licensing exam (Prime Minister\u2019s Commission). But salaries for Indian doctors in Russia are 60% lower than in India. Plus, you\u2019ll need C1 level Russian. Not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q7_How_do_I_verify_if_a_Russian_universitys_NExT_coaching_is_genuine\"><\/span>Q7: How do I verify if a Russian university\u2019s NExT coaching is genuine?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask for their \u201cNExT Mock Test results\u201d from the last batch. Genuine universities will share anonymized scores. Fake ones will say \u201cconfidential.\u201d Also, check if they have an Indian faculty member on payroll. No Indian faculty = No NExT focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q8_What_is_the_ideal_NEET_score_to_get_into_these_Top_5_NExT-focused_universities\"><\/span>Q8: What is the ideal NEET score to get into these Top 5 NExT-focused universities?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For Kazan and Pirogov: 450+ (General) or 400+ (Reserved). For Altai, Orenburg, and Crimea: 350+ (General) or 300+ (Reserved). Study gap accepted up to 2 years for these universities, but we have to justify it in the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Hidden_Curriculum_%E2%80%93_What_They_Dont_Tell_You_About_Russian_MBBS\"><\/span><strong>The Hidden Curriculum \u2013 What They Don\u2019t Tell You About Russian MBBS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me share something uncomfortable. I\u2019m the Senior Strategist at Eduwisor. I\u2019ve seen the internal emails from Russian pro-rectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the secret: Russian professors are terrified of NExT. Why? Because if their Indian students fail, the university loses NMC recognition. That\u2019s a financial disaster. So, the \u201cTop 5\u201d universities on our list have secretly started rewriting their entire curriculum to mirror the NExT 2026 blueprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But some universities (we won\u2019t name them, but avoid Tver and Volgograd for NExT specifically) are doing the bare minimum. They hire a local Indian tutor once a week and call it \u201cNExT coaching.\u201d That\u2019s a scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to spot the fakes at a virtual counseling:<br>Ask: <em>\u201cHow many OSPE stations do you have specifically for NExT Part 2?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Correct answer: \u201c22 to 25 stations.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fake answer: \u201cWe have a good lab.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask: <em>\u201cShow me the last NExT mock test rank list.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Correct: Shares a PDF with 150+ students\u2019 scores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fake: \u201cPrivacy issues.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We at Eduwisor have already done this vetting. That\u2019s why our list is only five universities long. Not 20. Not 30. Five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eduwisor.com\/countries.php\">Eduwisor<\/a>&nbsp;always guides students toward the right path with an unbiased approach.
