Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kazan Federal University approved by NMC (India)?

WHO/WDOMS-listed, the basis for NMC’s foreign-graduate pathway — confirm the current listing directly on wdoms.org before applying. NEET qualification is mandatory; a high score is not required, only a valid, qualifying scorecard.

No — these are two genuinely distinct institutions in the same city, founded ten years apart (1804 vs. 1814). Confirm which one you’re applying to.

Completed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, minimum 50% aggregate (40% for reserved categories), and at least 17 years old by 31 December of the admission year.

Yes, mandatory for all Indian applicants under NMC’s FMGL Regulations 2021.

A Diploma of Specialist in General Medicine (Russia’s equivalent higher-medical-education qualification), recognised as MBBS-equivalent for NMC’s FMGL pathway.
