Still weighing Russia against Georgia, Kazakhstan or the Philippines? Start here. One honest hour on what MBBS in Russia really costs in 2026, how to spot a trap before you pay, and why you should lock your plan now — before results, not after.
Dr Vivek Lathwal — your host · FMGE-cleared · studied MBBS in Russia
Live Q&A with me — and bring your parents, no extra ticket.
Tuition, hostel, food, flights, and the rupee weakening every year — I put the whole figure on screen at real exchange rates. No 1:1 fantasy.
Most "MBBS abroad" advice online is a sales pitch with the hard parts left out. This isn't that. For one honest hour I'll show you the real numbers and the real risks — including the ones that cost me nothing to hide and would cost you years. And you don't need to wait for your official result: once the answer key is out you already know roughly where you stand, and that's enough to start locking your seat now.
The real all-in cost of six years in Russia — including the line item agents quietly leave off the quote.
How to tell a genuine university from a trap, and the two-minute WDOMS check that settles it.
What clearing the FMGE actually demands — and why a university's "high pass rate" can mislead you.
Russia vs Georgia and Kazakhstan, honestly — including the case where Russia is the wrong answer for you.
Why the students who lock a seat decide now — before results — and how your answer-key score is already enough to plan your shortlist.
Is it safe? What will my child eat? What are the hostels really like? How often can we talk? I answer all of it, without sugar-coating. Sit in with your child — you don't need a separate seat.
"If I wouldn't send my own younger sibling to a university, I won't put your child there. That's the whole filter."
I'm Dr Vivek Lathwal. I did my MBBS in Russia — the lectures, the winters, the hostel mess, all of it — and I cleared the FMGE on the other side. Now I run Eduparity and a YouTube channel built on one promise: the hard truths first, the sales pitch never. This session is that promise, live.
Seats are limited so the Q&A stays useful. Reserve yours before it fills.
