Why choose Georgia?
Georgia (the country) has rapidly emerged as a preferred destination for Indian students seeking affordable, internationally recognised degrees in medicine, dentistry, and business. Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia's universities offer MCI/NMC-recognised MBBS programs at a fraction of the cost of studying medicine in India or the West.
Affordable MBBS Programs
Complete a 6-year MBBS (MD) program in English for $25,000–$45,000 total — a fraction of private medical college fees in India.
NMC/WHO Recognised Universities
Georgian medical universities are recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC) India, WHO, and ECFMG, allowing graduates to appear for FMGE/NEXT exams.
No Entrance Exam Required
Admission to Georgian universities does not require NEET for MBBS (though NEET is required to return and practice in India). No IELTS required.
Safe & Student-Friendly
Georgia is consistently ranked as one of the safest countries in Europe. Tbilisi has a large Indian student community with Indian food and cultural familiarity.

Step-by-Step Guide
Your complete roadmap to studying in Georgia
Choose University & Program
Verify NMC recognition on the NMC India website before applying. Compare university fee structures, hostel facilities, and Indian student support services.
Check NEET Requirement
NEET is NOT required for admission to Georgian universities. However, NEET is mandatory if you plan to return to India and practice medicine (FMGE/NEXT qualification required).
Documents Required
10th and 12th marksheets, passport, passport photos, birth certificate, and medical fitness certificate. No IELTS required — English medium of instruction from 12th qualifies.
Apply & Receive Admission
Apply directly or through an authorised Georgia admission agency. Receive your admission letter within 1–3 weeks typically.
Georgia Student Visa
Indian students can obtain a visa-on-arrival or e-visa for Georgia (up to 1 year). For longer stays, register at the Public Service Hall in Tbilisi for a residence permit.
Arrive & Register
On arrival in Tbilisi, register with your university and the local migration authority. Set up your student accommodation (on-campus hostel or private apartment).
Cost of Studying in Georgia
Annual tuition: $4,000–$7,500/year. Total 6-year MBBS cost: $25,000–$45,000 (approximately ₹20–40 Lakhs). Much lower than private medical colleges in India.
Monthly living costs in Tbilisi: $300–$500. Accommodation: $150–$250/month (hostel). Food: $100–$200. Transport: very affordable at $10–$20/month. Total annual living cost: ~$4,000–$6,000.
Total cost for a 6-year MBBS including tuition, living, and miscellaneous: approximately ₹35–55 Lakhs — significantly lower than Indian private medical colleges charging ₹60–1.5 Crore+.
Georgia Student Visa & Stay
Indian citizens receive a 1-year visa-on-arrival (or e-visa) for Georgia. This must be converted to a student residence permit at the Public Service Hall (PSH) in Tbilisi within the visa validity period.
Issued for the duration of your studies. Renewable annually. Required documents: admission letter, proof of accommodation, passport, medical insurance, and fees receipt.
After completing your MD (MBBS equivalent), Indian students must pass the FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduates Examination) or NEXT exam conducted by NMC to practice medicine in India.
Career & NMC Compliance
Indian medical graduates from Georgia must clear the FMGE/NEXT exam administered by NMC to obtain medical registration in India. Dedicated coaching and preparation centers are available.
Georgian MD degrees are WHO-recognised. Graduates may also qualify for USMLE (USA), PLAB (UK), or AMC (Australia) exams to practice medicine globally.
Georgia offers higher safety, better infrastructure, European standards of medical education, a large Indian student community in Tbilisi, and more affordable living than many Eastern European alternatives.
