Got a quote from someone? Check the maths
The university is the same, so its fee is the same. A lower quote usually uses an older exchange rate or leaves out food. Enter the quote to see which.

How this calculator works
Every figure comes from the 2027 fees on our fees page, or from a number you set yourself.
Tuition and hostel for all 6 years, in the currency the university charges: US dollars in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, rubles in Russia. Russian fees include a one-time US$1,000 Year 1 charge. At Yaroslavl the hostel comes with the mess package.
In Uzbekistan, Indian food is US$1,200 a year and is counted for all 6 years. Yaroslavl has a hostel and Indian mess package of ₽2,20,000 a year, counted for all 6 years. At KRSU the Indian mess is optional and many students move to an apartment after Year 1, so, as at the other four Russian universities, the calculator uses your own monthly food estimate.
Visa is about US$300 a year in Uzbekistan and is already in the fee at KRSU. Russian visa extension charges are extra and not counted. Flights, books and personal expenses are your own yearly estimate.
Cost calculator: frequently asked questions
What does the MBBS abroad cost calculator include?
The calculator adds four things for each of the 9 universities MBBSDirect offers for 2027: the university fee for 6 years (tuition and hostel), food, visa where the yearly figure is published (about US$300 a year in Uzbekistan; at KRSU it is already in the fee), and your own yearly estimate for flights, books and personal expenses. Russian visa extension charges are extra and are not counted.
Why does the total change when I move the exchange rate?
University fees are fixed in US dollars in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan and in rubles in Russia, and you pay at the rate on the day of payment. The calculator starts at ₹96 per US dollar and ₹1.14 per ruble (15 October 2026). Moving the rate shows what the same fee would cost in rupees if the rupee gets weaker or stronger.
Is food included in the MBBS fee abroad?
Food is always shown separately. In Uzbekistan, Indian food costs US$1,200 a year and is paid with the fee. At Yaroslavl, hostel and Indian mess come as one package of ₽2,20,000 a year. At KRSU in Kyrgyzstan the Indian mess (US$1,200 a year) is optional, and at Ivanovo, Northern, Voronezh and North-Western students cook for themselves, so for these five the calculator uses the monthly food budget you set.
Which university has the lowest total cost in the calculator?
At the starting settings (₹12,000 a month for self-cooking and ₹60,000 a year for flights, books and personal expenses), Asia International University, Uzbekistan, has the lowest 6-year total at about ₹34.7 Lakh, followed by Ivanovo State Medical University, Russia, at about ₹38.6 Lakh. The order can change when you change the food budget or the exchange rate.
Is the calculator result a final fee quote?
No. It is an estimate built from the published 2027 university fees and the numbers you enter. Universities can revise fees, and exchange rates change every day. Ask MBBSDirect for the current fee letter of a university before you pay anything.
