China and Russia, both countries are not of English speaking origin. Therefore, it is impossible not to learn their local languages.

However, the number of medical universities in China providing the English medium education is considerably less in comparison to Russia

In Russia, the students, provided they choose to study in a complete English medium university, would be taught Russian, to help them communicate with the locals during their clinical rotations. However, the language of the classroom and assessment would be English.

One can not overlook the fact that learning both Russian and Chinese, can provide a lot of scope in terms of career and growth to the students.

7. Diplomatic Relations With India:

Another important point of consideration for the Indian students is to know how the country of their choice has relations with India. As of the current situation and the sudden break of the pandemic, China has closed its borders. China and India both have strained relations for more than issues with each other. Therefore, many students who took admission in MBBS in China are seeking transfer to other countries, in order to pursue their studies.

Russia on the other hand has been a close ally to India for several decades, the strong diplomatic relations between them helps the students in adjusting well to Russian culture during their students As a result between 2019-2021, 3000+ students have joined medical universities of Russia even when the world was suffering due to pandemic.

Conclusion

It is evident that the major and the most important difference lies in their diplomatic relations with the countries with India.

China had been ranked with the 3rd highest choice among the international students for their higher studies in the year 2019. Unfortunately, with the sudden emergence and spike in the covid cases, China had closed its borders for the rest of the world for a while, clearly affecting the studies of the international students enrolled. Even at present, China has very restricted guidelines for the immigration of international students and that too is only for a few countries. From an Indian perspective, India and China have a history of border disputes, but it has become more stressful in the past few years. Instead of offline classes, Chinese medical universities for the time provide online classes, but the NMC has clearly issued guidelines that would not consider medical education in an online mode. Therefore, even if overlooking the border dispute, China may not be an ideal destination for MBBS abroad, if you want to return and work in India.

Russia, on the other hand, has been a close ally of India even since its Soviet days. Russia has been a time-tested partner for India and has supported it over the international stage on multiple issues. Both countries are well aware of each other’s culture and appreciate it. Therefore, the chances of Indian students being comfortable among Russian locals are quite high. Russian medical universities often provide a cultural celebration for Indian students at their campuses. The healthy relations between both the countries make traveling to Russia and even staying in Russia quite easy.

On analyzing all these points, it can be concluded that MBBS in Russia, is a much safer and better choice for Indian students in regards to MBBS admission abroad in the year 2022. The course structure, duration, and quality of education in the medical universities of both countries are quite similar. Even the fees and cost of living in these countries for Indian students are almost in a similar bracket, with MBBS in Russia being the lowest and MBBS in China not far behind.
