  • Secondly, they should shortlist medical universities in Russia that fall in their budget. However, ranking should not be the sole criteria for finalizing a university, as many other important factors (Teaching Faculties, English Medium, Hostels, Indian Mess, Location, Climate) also play a very important role in popularity of a university.
