Russia's six year MBBS totals roughly 22 to 40 lakh rupees, with tuition of 3,500 to 6,000 dollars yearly. Bangladesh's five year course plus internship totals 35 to 55 lakh rupees, with total fees of 32,000 to 51,000 dollars. Both need NEET and PCB marks.

Your MBBS budget looks quite different depending on whether you choose Russia or Bangladesh, even though both give you an NMC and WHO recognised degree. Russia costs you less overall but runs a year longer, while Bangladesh matches the Indian syllabus closely and finishes faster including your internship year.

Eligibility and Living Costs to Plan For

  • Both require a minimum 50-60% in Physics, Chemistry, Biology plus a qualifying NEET score.
  • Russia hostel and food run about 300 to 1,000 USD yearly, plus 150-200 USD monthly living costs.
  • Bangladesh hostel and living costs run about 1,500-2,000 USD yearly.
  • Russia's curriculum includes mandatory Russian language classes for later clinical postings.

My Advice

If your total budget caps around twenty five lakhs, prioritise Russia; if you want a faster return to an India ready licensing exam with a syllabus you already recognise, Bangladesh's closer curriculum match is worth its higher cost.
