MBBS in Georgia

Study MBBS in Georgia: a guide for Indian students

Georgia, a small European country between the Black Sea and the Caucasus mountains, has become a popular choice for Indian medical students. Its universities offer English-medium MD programmes built on the European education model, in safe and welcoming cities such as Tbilisi, Batumi and Kutaisi.

Well-known universities for international students include Tbilisi State Medical University, David Tvildiani Medical University, Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University and Georgian National University (SEU). XEAL Education Works can guide you on current options and fees for each.

• Safe, friendly cities with a mild climate compared with Russia or Central Asia.
• Two intakes at many universities, usually around September and February/March.

• At least 17 years old by 31 December of the admission year.

NMC rules every Indian student must check

To practise in India after studying abroad, your degree must meet the National Medical Commission's Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations, 2021. Before you pay any fees, make sure the university and programme meet all of these:

• NEET-UG qualified: you must qualify NEET-UG to study MBBS abroad. The NEET result is accepted for foreign admission for three years.
• At least 54 months of study at one university, followed by a 12-month internship at the same university.
• English medium for the whole course.
• The degree must let you register as a doctor in that country, on the same terms as local graduates.
• The course must be completed within 10 years of joining.
• Back in India, you must pass the licensing exam (currently FMGE, until NExT is introduced) and complete a 12-month supervised internship in India.

XEAL Education Works checks these points for every university before we recommend it to you.
