Selection & Admission Procedure:

Russian universities do not require international students to pass any pre admission entrance exams like the GRE, TOEFL, CET etc. Admissions are on a first come first served basis, subject to the candidate satisfying the eligibility requirements set by the Medical Council of India or the appropriate authority in other countries. Gaining admission is a simple process and interested candidates may follow the steps set out below (for students from India only. For students from other countries, guidelines will be issued at the time of counseling.

4. Apply for a passport immediately on receipt of the Admission Letter, if not already done. It takes approx 6 to 8 weeks for issuance of a normal passport, while a Tatkal passport can be obtained in about a week's time for an additional fee specified by the department. Any delay in obtaining a passport will result in a delay in the issue of the visa invitation letter by the university, and consequently delay in joining the university.

5. Apply to the Medical Council of India for the Eligibility Certificate (applicable to under graduate medical students only). Post Graduate Students should get their Original Degree Certificate Authenticated by the State Government in which the University awarding the Degree is situated, and further endorsed by the Ministry of External Affairs, Go vt of India, New Delhi.

The Marks Card will be returned to the candidate for safe keeping in India before leaving for Russia. Only the attested copy can be taken to Russia.

7. On receipt of the Visa Invitation Letter (normally 45 to 60 days after receipt of the passport), send the balance facilitation fee payable to AJ Trust Educational Consultancy.

After receipt of the balance payment, AJ Trust Educational Consultancy will arrange for the visa to be stamped on the passport. The student should be ready to leave for Russia within 10 to 15 days thereafter. The student will be issued suitable instructions for payment of the tuition and other fees to the university, guidelines on the items suggested to be taken to Russia & any other useful information for the students and parents.

Payment of tuition fees for the first year of study should be made prior to the departure for Russia. Non receipt of such payment, except in special circumstances and with the express permission from AJ Trust Educational Consultancy, will result in the student not being permitted to travel to Russia.
