MBBS in Georgia 2027–28

Yes. NEET qualification is mandatory for all Indian students who wish to study MBBS in Georgia and later practice in India. The requirement is percentile-based - 50th percentile for General/EWS, 40th for SC/ST/OBC, 45th for General-PwD - and the equivalent marks change every year with the paper's difficulty, so check the current cycle's cutoff rather than any fixed number.

No. From the 2026–27 academic year, Georgia's state-funded universities stop admitting new international students - announced by Education Minister Givi Mikanadze in December 2025 and reported by Georgia Today. Tbilisi State Medical University, where roughly 45% of students were international, is the best-known example. The rule covers new admissions at state universities; private universities keep admitting, which is why every university on this page is private.

In the NBEMS 2024 institute-wise report, 1,505 of 4,221 Georgia-trained candidates passed FMGE - 35.66%. That is the highest of any country sending more than 1,000 candidates that year, ahead of Bangladesh (914 of 2,822, 32.39%), Russia (3,331 of 11,276, 29.54%), Philippines (2,003 of 9,967, 20.10%) and China (2,765 of 14,214, 19.45%). The average across all countries was 25.80% (20,382 of 79,000). NBEMS's figures show how often each country's candidates pass, not why.

Yes, conditionally. What matters is the FMGL-2021 criteria: at least 54 months of taught study, a degree with English as its medium of instruction, a 12-month internship at the same Georgian institution, and a qualification that licenses you to practise in Georgia - then you pass the FMGE (or its successor) in India and complete the further 12-month supervised internship there under regulation 4(c). WDOMS listing confirms the school is in the World Directory of Medical Schools, but it is not a substitute for these criteria. A.J Trust verifies the full checklist for every university it recommends.

MBBS in Georgia is a 6-year, 360-ECTS MD programme at each roster university. FMGL-2021 requires at least 54 months of study plus a 12-month internship at the same institution, and a degree with English as its medium of instruction, so ask the university to write the study/internship split on your admission letter.

Georgia scores better than India on the Global Peace Index — 94th of 163 against India's 127th (GPI 2026) — though it is not among Europe's highest-ranked countries. Tbilisi has low crime rates, well-lit streets, and active police presence. About 25,000 Indian students study medicine in Georgia, by the Ministry of External Affairs' India–Georgia brief (July 2026), and there is a well-established Indian community with Indian restaurants and grocery stores in Tbilisi.

Check with the bank before you count on one. SBI's Global Ed-Vantage page lists the countries it lends for, and Georgia is not among them (checked 18 October 2026), although SBI's terms say a course in an unlisted country may be considered on a case-to-case basis. Bank of Baroda's and PNB's study-abroad pages name no countries. Collateral-free and secured limits differ by bank and change with their schemes, so check the bank's current terms before planning - A.J Trust helps prepare the admission documents the bank asks for. The moratorium varies by bank: SBI's Global Ed-Vantage starts repayment 6 months after the course ends, while Bank of Baroda, PNB, Canara Bank and Union Bank give the course period plus 1 year.

It depends on your filter. Best 2024 FMGE rate among the 100+-candidate cohorts of the universities on this page: Georgian National University (SEU) — 93 of 154 passed (60.39%), with American Hospital Tbilisi as its exclusive affiliated clinic (SEU's own description). Best lifetime record among the 500+-candidate schools in our dataset: David Tvildiani Medical University — 319 of 635 (50.24%), with the roster's most USMLE-facing culture. Top rate in our Georgia dataset two years running: Georgian American University — 49 of 61 (80.33%) in 2024 and 129 of 240 (53.75%) in 2025, on a young record. Lowest published tuition among the five universities with full profiles: SEU at $5,900 a year. A.J Trust matches you to the right university based on your NEET score, budget, and career goals.

Usually not as a named requirement - but don't expect zero English screening. Most Georgian private universities interview applicants in English. TMA asks for B1 (IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge or Versant - waived with proof of fully English-medium schooling), GAU asks for B2 (approved test or video interview), and SEU takes an interview plus a test if you have no proficiency document.
