The price of the hostel rooms may differ based on the type of accommodation. Many international students prefer renting private apartments as per their requirements.

Indian Food in Asian Medical Institute

The ASMI specifically might not provide Indian food. But still, you can look for Indian mess and restaurants in the nearby places. However, planning to dine out on a daily basis will cost you extra bucks. Thus, most students prefer preparing food on their own as it is healthy and hygienic and also easy on the pocket at the same time.

Indian Students at S Tentishev Asian Medical Institute

Not only does it lack years of experience as a medical educational institution but also the political conditions of the country are also unsteady. Thus, MOKSH will not advise you to take admission.
