About Kazakh Russian Medical University

Kazakh Russian Medical University, established in 1992, is a well-known medical university in Almaty, Kazakhstan's largest city, with a six-year, English-medium Medicine programme for international students. Almaty is a major regional hub with strong infrastructure and good connectivity, and the university sits within that well-developed city environment. Alongside Medicine the university runs Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing, Public Health and Medical & Preventive Care faculties — a full medical campus rather than a single-programme school.

Recognition & NMC eligibility

Kazakh Russian Medical University appears in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS) — the WHO-linked status that matters for the Indian screening-test route. NEET-qualified with at least 50% in PCB (40% for reserved categories), 17+ years of age, and with an NMC eligibility certificate obtained before departure, your six-year degree makes you eligible to attempt the FMGE/NEXT and register with the National Medical Commission — or take the USMLE/PLAB route abroad. We check the programme against the NMC's current rules for your intake before recommending it.

Fees & cost of living

Tuition is approximately $4,500 per year. Because the university does not publish a fixed international fee, we confirm the exact current figure with you before you apply. Living costs in Almaty run around $400 to $600 a month for accommodation, food and day-to-day expenses, so the city stays affordable for most Indian students.

Campus & student life

Getting there is easy — there is a direct, daily Delhi-to-Almaty flight of about 3 hours 20 minutes. Almaty is the largest, most cosmopolitan city in Central Asia and is widely regarded as among the safest in the region, with reliable transport, healthcare and a settled Indian community — around 9,500 Indian students study across Kazakhstan. The climate is continental — winters around −8°C and summers near 30°C — and Russian is the everyday language students pick up. Living costs sit around $400 to $600 a month, and our coordinator handles the airport pickup, accommodation and registration so the move is smooth.
