MBBS in Georgia for Ahmedabad Students. If you are an Ahmedabad student scrolling through your phone in Satellite or Vastral, stuck between the rock of cutthroat NEET competition and the hard place of Indian private college donations, you are looking for an exit. Georgia has emerged as that exit for nearly 10,470 Indian students as of the latest RBI reports .
But here’s the thing—getting your MBBS from Tbilisi isn’t just about packing a suitcase and flying off. The rules have changed. The National Medical Commission (NMC) is cracking down on course durations, and the 2026 compliance checklist is real. At Eduwisor, we don’t just hand you a brochure; we sit with you in our Mumbai HQ or on Zoom and map out exactly where you’ll live, eat, and study for the next six years.
In this guide, we are going hyper-local for you, the Ahmedabad aspirant. We are talking fees in rupees you can actually budget, universities your grandparents will have heard of (okay, maybe not, but NMC approval helps), and the honest truth about surviving the Georgian winter when you’re used to the Ahmedabad heat.
Why Ahmedabad Students Are Flocking to Georgia (And Why You Should Care)
We at Eduwisor have seen a 300% increase in inquiries from Gujarat, specifically Ahmedabad, over the last two years. Why? Because the calculation is simple.
In India, getting a government medical seat requires a NEET rank in the top 1%. Failing that, private colleges in Rajasthan or Maharashtra will ask for a “capitation fee” that could buy you a flat in Prahlad Nagar. Georgia offers a solution.
Georgia offers a 6-year MD program (equivalent to MBBS) taught entirely in English, recognized by the NMC, WHO, and listed in WDOMS. For Ahmedabad students, it hits the sweet spot between affordability (₹25-55 lakhs total) and quality, without the requirement of a donation or an IELTS exam .
The “Khamma Ghani” Factor: Finding Home in the Caucasus
You might worry about the food. We get it. Living on bland pasta for six years sounds like a punishment.
But here’s the insider info: Universities like Georgian National University (SEU) and New Vision University have a massive Indian student contingent. The messes have adapted. You’ll get your roti, sabzi, and dal. Some hostels even have专门的 Gujarati cooks during the induction weeks to help you settle in.
In our Mumbai office, we joke about the “Aloo Paratha Test.” If a university’s canteen can nail a decent Aloo Paratha on a Tuesday morning, it passes our vibe check. And trust us, many in Tbilisi do.
NMC 2026 Compliance: The Non-Negotiable Checklist
There’s a lot of noise online about the NMC “cracking down” on MBBS abroad. Let’s clear the air.
The NMC 2026 guidelines are not a ban; they are a clarification. They mandate that the course duration must be 54 months (plus internship) and that the university must be recognized by the relevant local authorities. All top Georgian universities comply with this, making your degree valid for the FMGE/NExT exam in India .
To be safe, every university you consider must be on the NMC’s list of recognized foreign medical universities. We at Eduwisor only work with those on this list. Don’t let an agent sell you a dream at a university that isn’t recognized. If you try to sit for the FMGE/NExT with a degree from a non-compliant uni, you’ll be staring at a rejection letter—and that’s six years of your life you won’t get back.
Top NMC-Approved Universities: Fees and FMGE Performance (2026 Update)
Let’s talk numbers. We have curated this list specifically for the Ahmedabad student. We’ve included the FMGE pass percentage because that’s the only metric that truly matters for getting back home.
Tuition fees in Georgia range from $4,000 to $8,000 per year. Government universities like TSMU are prestigious but have higher fees and moderate FMGE scores, while private universities like SEU and Caucasus University offer a better bang for your buck when it comes to passing the Indian licensing exam .
Fee & Performance Comparison Table
| University Name | Total Tuition Fee (Approx) | Annual Fee (INR) | FMGE Pass Rate (Recent) | Type |
| Georgian National University (SEU) | ₹26.4 Lakhs | ₹4.4 Lakhs | 60.39% | Private |
| Caucasus University | ₹28.8 Lakhs | ₹4.8 Lakhs | 55.10% | Private |
| David Tvildiani Medical University | ₹38.4 Lakhs | ₹6.4 Lakhs | 48.50% | Private |
| Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State Uni | ₹38.4 Lakhs | ₹6.4 Lakhs | 46.88% | Public |
| Batumi Shota Rustaveli State Uni | ₹26 Lakhs | ₹4.3 Lakhs | 41.67% | Public |
| Tbilisi State Medical University (TSMU) | ₹38.4 Lakhs | ₹6.4 Lakhs | ~30% | Public |
| East European University | ₹24 Lakhs | ₹4.0 Lakhs | 10.53% | Private |
Our Take (Eduwisor Insider View):
Notice the massive difference in FMGE scores. Georgian National University (SEU) consistently punches above its weight. If you are a middle-class student from Ahmedabad looking for ROI, spending a little less on fees at SEU or Caucasus and investing that saved money in a good FMGE coaching center (which we can guide you on) is a smarter play than just chasing the “brand name” of TSMU.
The Real Cost of Living: Beyond the Tuition Fee
Agents love to tell you, “Sir, total expense only 20 lakh!” They are lying. Or at best, they are being “creatively economical” with the truth.
Living expenses (hostel, food, travel, internet, heating) will add another ₹2.5 to ₹4 lakhs per year to your bill. For a 6-year program, you’re looking at an additional ₹15-24 lakhs on top of tuition .
Breakdown for an Ahmedabad Student (Monthly/Yearly)
- Hostel Fees: ₹40,000 to ₹90,000 per year. Some universities like GRUNI bundle mess with hostel for about $2,500 a year .
- Food (Mess/Cooking): If you eat outside or order in, it hurts the wallet. Stick to the mess. Budget roughly ₹8,000–12,000 per month. Pro tip: Learn to make basic dal and rice. You’ll thank us in your third year when you’re craving comfort food and don’t want to pay restaurant prices .
- Flights from Ahmedabad: You’ll fly in and out via connecting flights (usually via Doha or Dubai). Budget around ₹40,000-50,000 per round trip. That’s about ₹2.5 to 3 lakhs over the course .
- The Winter Bill: Heating in Tbilisi isn’t optional; it’s survival. If you rent an apartment off-campus (which many do after the first year), utilities (gas/electricity for heating) can spike to ₹5,000-8,000 per month in December and January . Something we Ahmedabad folks, used to mild winters, often forget to budget for.
Myth vs. Fact: The Georgia Edition
Let’s bust some myths using our on-ground experience at Eduwisor.
| Myth | Fact |
| “Georgia is expensive; only the rich can go.” | Fact: Compared to private medical colleges in Gujarat (which can demand ₹80 lakh+ just in donation), Georgia is a steal. The total cost of 6 years at a mid-range Georgian university is roughly the same as 1-2 years of donations in an Indian private college . |
| “You can’t adjust to the weather or food.” | Fact: You adjust. Plus, the universities have adapted to you. Indian messes are common. And honestly, after a year, you’ll appreciate the break from the relentless Ahmedabad heat. The cold is manageable with the right jacket. |
| “NMC will ban Georgia soon.” | Fact: This rumor spreads every year. The NMC wants to ensure quality. As long as you attend a university on their approved list (like all the ones we recommend) and complete the full 6-year course, you are golden. Georgia follows the European ECTS system, which aligns perfectly with NMC duration requirements . |
| “FMGE is impossible to pass from Georgia.” | Fact: Look at the table above. SEU has a 60% pass rate. That’s higher than many other Eastern European countries. The pass rate depends on you. If you coast through clinical years without studying, you’ll fail. If you treat the Georgian curriculum as seriously as you would in India, you’ll pass. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Is the MBBS degree from Georgia valid in India after the new NMC 2026 rules?
A: Yes, absolutely. The NMC 2026 guidelines primarily focus on the duration of the course and the university’s recognition status. Since Georgian universities offer a 6-year program (5+1) and are listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS), graduates remain eligible. However, you must pass the FMGE or the upcoming NExT exam to practice in India .
Q2. What is the total fee for MBBS in Georgia for a student from Ahmedabad?
A: The total cost for the full 6-year program typically ranges from ₹25 lakhs to ₹55 lakhs. This wide range depends on whether you choose a government university like TSMU (higher end) or a private university like Georgian National University SEU (mid-range). At Eduwisor, we provide a fully detailed, university-specific breakdown to ensure zero hidden surprises .
Q3. Do Georgian universities have Indian food? What about Gujarati food?
A: Yes, in universities with a high Indian student population like New Vision University or SEU, the mess serves roti, sabzi, and dal consistently. Some hostels in Tbilisi even have专门的 Gujarati cooks during induction weeks to make you feel at home .
Q4. Is NEET mandatory for admission?
A: 100% mandatory. Even if you go to Georgia, the NMC requires Indian students to have qualified NEET to be eligible to return and practice in India. Without a valid NEET score, your degree is essentially useless for India .
Q5. Can I pay my fees in installments?
A: Yes, most private Georgian universities offer flexible payment plans. You can usually pay semester-wise or annually. This is a huge relief for families managing cash flow. We help you negotiate this during the admission process .
Q6. What is the visa success rate for students from Ahmedabad?
A: With complete documentation and a confirmed admission letter from a recognized university, the success rate is nearly 98%. Rejections usually happen due to insufficient financial proof or incorrect documents. Our team at Eduwisor does a full document audit to prevent this .
Q7. Is there any university with hostel fees under ₹1 lakh per year?
A: Yes, several public universities and some private ones offer basic dormitories in that range. However, they might be shared by 3-4 students. If you want a 2-sharing room with attached kitchen, costs will go up to ₹1.5-2 lakhs per year .
Q8. Which university has the highest FMGE pass rate?
A: According to recent data, Georgian National University (SEU) leads the pack with a pass percentage over 60%, followed closely by Caucasus University. These are the universities we recommend for students focused on returning to India for their postgraduate studies .
