MBBS Colleges in Kyrgyzstan : For Indian Students
MBBS Colleges in Kyrgyzstan : MCI Recognition
All medical universities in Kyrgyzstan that are offered by us above, are recognized by MCI (Medical Council of India) and the same can be checked online by visiting list of medical colleges to study MBBS abroad. We strongly recommend each and every student to once visit the MCI’s official website and verify that the selected medical college in Kyrgyzstan, where he/she intends to take MBBS admission in Kyrgyzstan is recognized in MCI’s website. This is very important, as only those students who complete their MBBS course from a MCI recognized medical university in Kyrgyzstan are allowed to appear in the MCI Screening Test/FMGE/National Exit Test in India for practicing medicine here.
Medical Colleges in Kyrgyzstan : Government/Private
Most MBBS colleges in Kyrgyzstan that are currently being offered by us to Indian students are government universities with few of them being private universities too. This is one of the prime reasons for such low MBBS Fees in Kyrgyzstan as compared to Indian medical colleges. With a very low population in Kyrgyzstan, these handful number of medical universities in Kyrgyzstan are actually sufficient to provide adequate healthcare services to whole of it’s population. Hence, neither there has been any such requirement nor competition among universities or colleges in Kyrgyzstan for establishing new universities in Kyrgyzstan yet.
Medical Universities in Kyrgyzstan : Fees Criteria
Just as not all MBBS medical colleges in India have the same fee structure, the same applies to Kyrgyzstan too. However, there are some obvious factors which determine and help us understand the varying pattern of fees in different medical colleges in Kyrgyzstan. Some of the factors are as mentioned below :
*Location of university
*Establishment year of university
*Number of foreign students enrolled in university
*Number of years since English medium course started
*Standard of hostel & facilities for foreign students
*Level of expertise of medical faculty teaching in English medium
*Number of hospitals associated with university for clinical classes
*Additional facility of MCI training & preparation
*Availability of guest lecturers from India
*Use of modern & digital technology in teaching
*Opportunity to participate in exchange programs with other countries
These above factors are not the only ones that are taken into consideration while deciding fees. There are some top notch universities in Kyrgyzstan, that have very good infrastructure and facilities, but offer MBBS course in low fees as a step to attract more international students and stay in competition with other universities that are well established since decades.

In addition to all the medical subjects that students learn in MBBS colleges in Kyrgyzstan, they are also taught Kyrgyz/Russian language free of cost so that they are easily able to communicate with local citizens of Kyrgyzstan for their daily needs & most importantly communicate with patients in later years of their medical course.
The 5-10 top medical universities in Kyrgyzstan alone accept as many students from India as 20 universities of Russia or Ukraine do every year in total.
