Medium of education in Russian institutes is mostly in the Russian language. In practice, most universities / institutes attempt to teach first three years of the medicine programme in English medium while simultaneously imparting teaching in Russian language. Students need to be prepared for this dual medium of instruction. Some institutes which claim to have dual medium language courses may not even have requisite faculty to teach in English even for the first three years. As per the latest notification of National Medical Commission (NMC) of India, the medium of instructions must be in English language. Therefore, before seeking admission the students are advised to find out that the university follows the required guidelines.
