Teaching
The College of General Medicine and the College of Dentistry has been a hot favorite for most of the foreign students in recent times. They can opt to be trained either in English or Russian medium. However all the foreign students are enrolled into the Russian language course to help them in their daily living and for interacting with patients during their clinical course.
Undergraduate teaching is centered upon theoretical (lectures) and practical classes. Students are divided into several groups and each group consists of 7-8 students. This is very advantageous as it provides a better student - teacher interaction. In every class students are accessed for their knowledge and after every major topic they have to give a test (also known as concluding). At the end of the semester students give a final exam to pass the particular subject. All the lectures, classes and tests are organised on a departmental basis.
