Teaching hospitals
Admissions to MBBS at Georgian American University follow the private university process for international medical applicants in Georgia. We confirm the current cycle, seat availability, and document format as part of the admissions process.
We assess your profile and shortlist Georgian universities based on NMC guideline compliance, WDOMS listing, English-medium delivery, and 6-year cost. Georgia has 36+ private medical universities in Tbilisi alone — we present only institutions with a verified track record for Indian students and documented FMGE outcomes.
We prepare your application documents: Class 10 and 12 marksheets, NEET scorecard, passport copy, and photographs. Georgia does not require apostille on Indian academic documents, which simplifies preparation compared to Russia and Kyrgyzstan.
We submit your application through the university's official international admissions process. Most Georgian universities issue an admission letter within 1–3 weeks. Where the university conducts an entrance interview or English proficiency check, we prepare you in advance.
We guide you through the NMC Eligibility Certificate application at nmc.org.in after the admission letter is received. This is mandatory before departure.
We prepare your visa documentation. Indian nationals can enter Georgia visa-free for up to 365 days, but a student residence permit is required for the full 6-year programme. We coordinate with the university's international office on the residence permit conversion process through the Public Services Hall after arrival.
We brief you before departure on Public Services Hall registration, hostel check-in, health insurance (where not provided by the university), and university enrollment. We support you through the first weeks in Georgia for any administrative follow-up.

When to start
Start document preparation and application planning early in the cycle and confirm exact timelines with the university.
Admissions notes
Seat availability, invitation timelines, fee notices, hostel options, and visa processing should be rechecked for the current cycle.
Some Georgian universities offer merit-based fee reductions for international students with strong academic records. The Georgian Government also operates a small scholarship programme for foreign students under bilateral agreements. Confirm availability and eligibility criteria with the specific university's international admissions team.
How we assess
We confirm whether any fee waiver is merit-based, automatic, limited-seat, renewal-dependent, or deferred to later years before presenting it as part of a cost plan.
What we obtain in writing
Written scholarship terms, net payable tuition after any waiver, and whether hostel or ancillary charges are excluded are confirmed before families make a financial decision.
A WDOMS-listed MBBS opens six career pathways. India return via FMGE/NExT is the most common, but the same degree qualifies you to sit licensing exams for the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand — or stay for PG in Georgia.
Timeline: 6–9 months after graduation
Most common pathway for Indian students. After completing your MBBS and one-year internship abroad, you clear FMGE (being replaced by NExT) to obtain NMC registration. Students Traffic provides free FMGE/NExT coaching for students who join through us.
