Tashkent State Medical University (TSMU) offers one of the more affordable MBBS options in Uzbekistan for Indian students, with a total package generally around 35 lakh INR including tuition and basic hostel over 6 years.
Core MBBS fee structure (TSMU)
For recent intakes, multiple consultants list a fairly consistent pattern of charges for Tashkent State Medical University MBBS for international (including Indian) students.
- Tuition fee: about USD 3,500 + 1500 = 5000 $ in 1st year and USD 3,500 per year from 2nd to 6th year.
- Hostel fee: about USD 600 per year across all years.
- Other charges: visa extension, registration, insurance, documentation etc. are typically a few hundred USD extra in the 1st year and then yearly for visa/insurance.
- Total course cost: around USD 39,500, which various Indian consultants convert to roughly INR 35 lakh depending on exchange rate.
This structure makes the 1st year slightly costlier due to one-time documentation and higher tuition, while 2nd–6th years are comparatively lower per year.
Comparative fee perspective within Uzbekistan
When comparing TSMU fees with other popular Uzbek medical universities, it usually falls in the same or slightly lower band for total MBBS cost.
- Many Uzbekistan MBBS options (Andijan, Samarkand, Bukhara, Fergana, etc.) cluster between about INR 32 lakh total, while Tashkent-based institutions like TSMU or Tashkent Medical Academy often quote totals in the INR 35 lakh due to capital city living costs.
- Annual tuition in most Uzbek medical universities is commonly USD 3,500–4,000, but some show USD 4,500 in 1st year, similar to TSMU’s pattern.
- Hostel and living costs in Tashkent are a bit higher than smaller cities; hostel ranges around USD 500–700 per year, and estimated living expenses often sit between USD 210–400 per month depending on lifestyle.
