Indian students currently make up a portion of the international student body at Azerbaijan Medical University, totaling 1,200 students from 21 different countries. Among these, over 200 Indian students have been enrolled at the university for the past six years. However, these numbers are relatively low compared to other popular destinations for Indian students pursuing MBBS abroad. Those seeking alternative options within a similar budget may consider studying MBBS in Bangladesh, Egypt, Kazakhstan, and other countries. The MBBS education system in Azerbaijan comprises a six-year program that includes clinical rotations as an integral component. Azerbaijan Medical University offers its MBBS program in three languages: English, Russian, and Azerbaijani. Students from Asian countries such as India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka typically opt for the English-taught program, while those from Central Asian countries like Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan prefer the Russian-taught program. Local students from Uzbekistan may also enroll in the Azerbaijan program. Unlike Russia and Georgia, Azerbaijan does not adhere to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). To secure a place in the MBBS program at Azerbaijan Medical University, particularly, applicants must time their applications correctly. The optimal time for application is typically before July 15th each year in Azerbaijan. The challenge lies not in obtaining the admission letter but primarily in acquiring the invitation letter and completing the visa process, which can take approximately two months to be issued by the Ministry of Education and the consulate of Azerbaijan. A visa is granted solely based on this invitation letter. Furthermore, according to university regulations, students are required to pay full fees to the university before their departure.
