Russia is one of the most preferred destinations for Indian students aspiring to study MBBS abroad. The admission process is simple, but students must meet cutoff criteria set by both the universities in Russia and the National Medical Commission (NMC), India.

Here’s a complete guide on MBBS cutoff requirements for Russia.

📌 NEET Cutoff for MBBS in Russia (2025)

For Indian students, qualifying NEET is mandatory (as per NMC rules) to study MBBS abroad.

Expected NEET Cutoff 2025

👉 Students only need to qualify NEET, unlike India where very high scores are required for government seats.

📌 Academic Cutoff (12th Board)

Most Russian universities require:

• General Category: Minimum 50% in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology).
• SC/ST/OBC: Minimum 40% in PCB.
• Must have studied English as a compulsory subject.
• Age: Minimum 17 years on or before 31st December of admission year.

📌 University-Specific Cutoff Trends in Russia

While the minimum requirement is set by NMC, top-ranked Russian universities may have slightly higher cutoffs for PCB marks:

1. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (Moscow)
   • Requires 70–75% in PCB + NEET qualification.
2. Kazan Federal University (Kazan)
   • Minimum 65% in PCB preferred.
3. Volgograd State Medical University (Volgograd)
   • Accepts students with 60% in PCB.
4. Bashkir State Medical University (Ufa)
   • Minimum 55–60% in PCB.
5. Crimea Federal University (Simferopol)
   • Accepts 50% in PCB (General category).

📌 Age Cutoff

• Minimum age: 17 years
• No upper age limit for MBBS admission in Russia (but NEET has its own limit for Indian exams).

📌 Key Points for Students

✔️ You don’t need very high NEET scores – just qualifying is enough.
✔️ Top universities prefer students with 65%+ in PCB.
✔️ Some affordable universities admit students with 50% in PCB.
✔️ Higher NEET and 12th marks improve chances of scholarships and better university seats.

✅ Conclusion

The cutoff for MBBS in Russia is far lower than in India. With just NEET qualification and 50% in PCB, students can secure a seat in top medical universities. For elite universities like Sechenov or Kazan, aim for 65–75% in PCB to strengthen your application.
