Georgia
Indian students applying for MBBS in Georgia must meet NMC requirements for overseas medical education.
Admission process
We assess your profile and shortlist Georgian universities based on NMC guideline compliance, official regulatory verification, 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.
Italy
Italy is one of Europe's most respected destinations for English-medium MBBS/MD education. Indian students choose Italy for its globally ranked public universities, WHO and NMC-recognised 6-year medicine programs, affordable tuition compared to Western Europe, and the IMAT-based admission pathway that rewards academic preparation over connections.
