- Search the agent, consultancy or website you are dealing with on the fraud alerts page before paying anything.

What we can confirm
- Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001013) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
Verify before you pay anyone
- No student reviews are on file for this college yet on TrustMBBS. Treat any consultancy's claims about it with extra caution until you find independent, first-hand accounts.
- Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Kazakhstan yourself before paying anything.
- Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
- A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
- Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.
