A WDOMS-listed, NMC-eligible private medical university in Gori, central Georgia — 85 kilometres west of Tbilisi — offering a six-year English-medium Doctor of Medicine program. Founded in 1995 as Sukhishvili Teaching University and restructured as ERSU after 2010. Graduates are eligible for FMGE/NExT for Indian practice and for USMLE via the ECFMG pathway.
ERSU operates out of Gori — a compact city of approximately 50,000 people in central Georgia. The university environment is smaller and more contained than the large multi-faculty institutions in Tbilisi. Students who perform better in a focused, lower-distraction setting consistently report this as an advantage. Gori is internationally known as the birthplace of Joseph Stalin and the Stalin Museum is a cultural landmark all students visit. The Uplistsikhe cave city, one of Georgia's most significant archaeological sites, is 12 kilometres away.

Submit application package to ERSU international admissions — offer letter issued in 3–15 working days.
Obtain NMC Eligibility Certificate from nmc.org.in (10–15 working days).
Apply for Georgia D3 student visa at the Georgian Embassy, New Delhi (10–30 working days).

Documents required
Educational
Intake
Fall
When to start
Start document preparation and application planning at least 3–6 months before the Fall intake.
Admissions notes
ERSU operates an October intake. Applications should be submitted by August to allow time for the offer letter, NMC Eligibility Certificate, and D3 visa processing before the October registration date.
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.
FMGE/NExT — eligible via WDOMS listing and NMC Eligibility Certificate obtained before departure., ECFMG certification for USMLE pathway (USA)., PLAB for UK GMC registration., AMC pathway for Australian medical registration.
Recognition status is cross-checked against official sources before this university is recommended to any family.
Campus environment
ERSU operates out of Gori — a compact city of approximately 50,000 people in central Georgia. The university environment is smaller and more contained than the large multi-faculty institutions in Tbilisi. Students who perform better in a focused, lower-distraction setting consistently report this as an advantage. Gori is internationally known as the birthplace of Joseph Stalin and the Stalin Museum is a cultural landmark all students visit. The Uplistsikhe cave city, one of Georgia's most significant archaeological sites, is 12 kilometres away.
Accommodation
ERSU supports students in arranging accommodation in Gori. Private shared apartments in Gori range from $100–$180 per month — significantly lower than equivalent accommodation in Tbilisi ($250–$400 per month). Students can arrange accommodation through the university's international office or independently. Most Indian students at ERSU opt for private shared apartments close to the campus.
Daily living support
Gori does not have the density of Indian restaurants and Indian food supply networks found in Tbilisi. Students who self-cook manage well — Indian grocery staples are available from Tbilisi on weekend trips or through delivery services that have expanded to smaller Georgian cities. Families evaluating ERSU should factor this in: the food environment is workable but requires adaptation, especially in the first semester.
Safety and support
Georgia is consistently rated among the safest countries in the world for international students. Gori is a smaller, quieter city with lower urban crime exposure than Tbilisi. The compact size of the city means students rarely need to navigate unfamiliar areas alone. ERSU's international office coordinates arrival formalities and provides support for first-week students settling into the city. ERSU's international admissions office handles arrival coordination, university registration, and student ID issuance for incoming international students. The university's administration provides support for Temporary Residence Permit documentation — the critical post-arrival requirement that must be completed at the Gori Public Service Hall within 45 days of arrival. Students are advised to initiate TRP paperwork in the first two weeks rather than waiting for the deadline.
