Choosing to study medicine abroad is a life-changing decision. Every year thousands of Indian students consider Russia because of affordable tuition, strong medical universities, and globally recognized degrees. But the biggest question we hear from parents and students in our counseling sessions is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cIs MBBS in Russia NMC approved?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The short answer is <strong>yes \u2014 but only if the university and course structure meet the National Medical Commission\u2019s 2026 Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) regulations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s exactly where many students make mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Eduwisor<\/strong>, we\u2019ve guided more than <strong>2,000 Indian doctors<\/strong> into global medical careers.
