Georgia has emerged as a popular destination for Indian students seeking quality medical education abroad. Despite being roughly the size of India’s Assam state, Georgia offers excellent medical programs at comparatively affordable fees, making it an attractive alternative to costly private medical colleges in India.
Interestingly, what is commonly referred to as MBBS in India is offered in Georgia as an MD program, which is equivalent to the MBBS degree. The course duration is six years. As of 2024, approximately 16,000 Indian students were pursuing medical education in Georgia, and this number continues to grow each year. Some universities in the country admit only those students who have qualified the NEET examination.
