Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU), founded in 1918, is the oldest comprehensive university in the Caucasus. Its Faculty of Medicine restarted MD instruction in 1994 after an earlier program was discontinued in 1930, received NCEQE program accreditation in 2011, and is now a WDOMS-listed, six-year English-medium MD program taught alongside TSU's much larger non-medical faculties.
TSU is a large, comprehensive state university, so the Faculty of Medicine shares the historic central Tbilisi campus with dozens of other departments rather than having a dedicated stand-alone medical campus. The university's overall scale gives medical students access to TSU's central library system and general university resources, though the medicine-specific facilities are concentrated in the Faculty of Medicine's own buildings rather than spread across the whole historic campus.

TSU operates state-subsidized dormitories, but most international students choose to rent private flats in Tbilisi instead — third-party reports put dormitory-style hostel costs at roughly USD 1,500/year while private shared apartments run higher depending on location. Given TSU's status as a large public university, hostel space is not guaranteed to every international student, so this should be confirmed and applied for early.

Tbilisi, Georgia
Public/State
Tbilisi's established Indian restaurant and grocery scene is accessible from TSU's central campus location, though there is no TSU-run Indian mess confirmed specifically for medical students — most self-cater or use delivery.
As a large public institution, TSU maintains standard state-university security protocols; there is no independently published crime-rate or safety audit specific to the Faculty of Medicine campus area, so general Tbilisi safety framing applies rather than a TSU-specific claim. TSU's scale gives medical students access to the university's broader library resources and (university-wide, not medicine-specific) international exchange programs; dedicated FMGE/USMLE coaching pathways are not confirmed as an official Faculty of Medicine program, so students relying on this should verify current offerings directly.

Other universities in Georgia
If you are planning MBBS admission in Russia, the real decision is not whether admission is possible. It is whether you are choosing the right university, preparing the right documents, and entering on a pathway that still makes sense for India-return goals later.
If you are comparing Russia seriously, the duration question is really about structure, internship, and planning. The useful answer is not a brochure number. It is understanding how the six-year pathway works and what that means for your long-term medical journey.
If your first question is cost, Russia belongs on the shortlist. But the smartest budget decision is not the cheapest seat on paper. It is the cheapest Russia option that still makes sense for the student's full six-year journey.
