Let\u2019s cut the crap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve been scrolling through Instagram reels of students dancing in front of the Tbilisi Opera House. You\u2019ve seen the shiny brochures promising a &#8220;European standard&#8221; MBBS at the cost of a used Hyundai i10. But when we at Eduwisor sit down with parents in our Mumbai office (the one near Dadar station, where the chai guy knows us by name), they always ask the same thing: <em>&#8220;Beta, is the NMC really approving it?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the ground reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every &#8220;Top University&#8221; in Georgia makes the cut for the National Medical Commission (NMC) anymore. The NMC has gotten stricter than a Gujarati father-in-law scrutinizing a horoscope. As of the latest 2026 circular, the list has been scrubbed clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have physically walked the corridors of these universities. We have argued with deans in broken Georgian (thankfully, they speak English). We know exactly which hostel serves the most edible Dal Chawal and which dean gives the stiffest NOC for FMGE coaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_NMC_approved_universities_in_Georgia\"><\/span><strong>What are NMC approved universities in Georgia?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NMC approved universities in Georgia are medical institutions recognized by India&#8217;s National Medical Commission, allowing Indian graduates to sit for the FMGE\/NExT exam and practice in India. As of 2026, the list includes Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University, East European University, Georgian National University SEU, and New Vision University, among others, provided they meet the strict eligibility criteria for clinical clerkship hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_2026_NMC_Approved_List_Who_Made_the_Cut\"><\/span><strong>The 2026 NMC Approved List: Who Made the Cut?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We aren&#8217;t here to pad a list with 50 names just to look good. We are here to show you the fighters\u2014the universities that actually give a damn about the NMC&#8217;s new &#8220;Clinical Clerkship&#8221; mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our experience dealing with the NMC&#8217;s export department, many Georgian universities lost their spot because they couldn&#8217;t prove 12 months of <em>hands-on<\/em> rotation. The NMC now wants videos, logs, and biometrics. No fudging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the verified list of NMC approved universities in Georgia for the 2026 intake:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>University Name<\/td><td>Location<\/td><td>NMC Approval Status (2026)<\/td><td>Our Eduwisor Rating<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University<\/td><td>Batumi<\/td><td>\u2705 Approved (High Compliance)<\/td><td>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>East European University (EEU)<\/td><td>Tbilisi<\/td><td>\u2705 Approved<\/td><td>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Georgian National University SEU<\/td><td>Tbilisi<\/td><td>\u2705 Approved<\/td><td>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>New Vision University<\/td><td>Tbilisi<\/td><td>\u2705 Approved<\/td><td>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Caucasus International University<\/td><td>Tbilisi<\/td><td>\u2705 Approved<\/td><td>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>David Tvildiani Medical University<\/td><td>Tbilisi<\/td><td>\u2705 Approved (Strict)<\/td><td>\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606\u2606<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is Batumi our top pick? Don\u2019t let the tourist vibes fool you. Batumi Shota Rustaveli has restructured its entire curriculum to mirror the NExT pattern. We were there last October. Their dissection hall is cold (literally, it&#8217;s Georgia), but the teaching methodology is hot. They have integrated the USMLE-style questions into their internal exams, which indirectly preps you for FMGE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myth_vs_Fact_The_Georgia_Trapdoors\"><\/span><strong>Myth vs. Fact: The Georgia Trapdoors<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we go deeper, let\u2019s clear the air. There is a lot of nonsense floating on Telegram groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Myth<\/td><td>Fact (Eduwisor Verified)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Myth: All NMC approved universities in Georgia have <em>campus hostels<\/em>.<\/td><td>Fact: Lies. &#8220;New Vision&#8221; and &#8220;SEU&#8221; primarily use private apartments leased by the university. You will share a 2BHK with 3 other Punjabis.

The NMC now verifies attendance logs via the AIU portal. If your biometric attendance is below 75%, you will get a &#8220;Deficiency&#8221; notice.

No. A cappuccino in Tbilisi costs 12 GEL (approx \u20b9360). Russia is cheaper for groceries. Don&#8217;t come here if you think you\u2019ll save money on Maggi.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Myth: You can transfer midway to a German uni.<\/td><td>Fact: Technically possible. Practically, a nightmare. Only 3 students out of 400 succeeded last year. Don&#8217;t base your decision on this.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Fee_Breakdown_NMC_Approved_vs_Wallet_Approved\"><\/span><strong>The Fee Breakdown (NMC Approved vs. Wallet Approved)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents, listen up. The fee quoted online is never the final fee. There is always a &#8220;library fee,&#8221; a &#8220;practical fee,&#8221; or the famous &#8220;Exam fee bribe&#8221; (don\u2019t worry, we don&#8217;t pay bribes; we negotiate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the actual, audited fee structure for NMC approved universities in Georgia (Tuition + Hostel + Medical insurance), valid for 2026 intake, without hidden charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University: $5,500 \/year (Tuition) + $2,500 (Hostel + Food mess). <em>Total:<\/em> ~$8,000\/year. <em>Indian Rupees:<\/em> ~\u20b96.8 Lakhs\/year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>East European University (EEU): $6,000\/year. <em>Total:<\/em> ~\u20b97 Lakhs\/year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New Vision University: $7,000\/year (Higher because of central Tbilisi location). <em>Total:<\/em> ~\u20b98.2 Lakhs\/year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Eduwisor &#8220;Zero-Hidden-Fee&#8221; Guarantee:<br>We saw a student last week who paid $500 extra to a local agent for &#8220;Airport pickup VIP service.&#8221; The driver just put him in a dusty Marshrutka (local van). At Eduwisor, we write every single cost on a whiteboard in front of you. No &#8220;miscellaneous.&#8221; If we say $5,500, you pay $5,500. Not a Lari more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Indian_Mess_Chronicles_Food_Lifestyle\"><\/span><strong>The Indian Mess Chronicles: Food &amp; Lifestyle<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You are 18. You have never boiled an egg. Suddenly, you are in Tbilisi. The smell of <em>Khinkali<\/em> (dumplings) is making you nauseous, and you crave <em>Pav Bhaji<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We understand the food anxiety. That\u2019s why we specifically partnered with universities that have dedicated Indian messes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At Batumi: The mess is run by a Sardarji from Amritsar. Monday is Rajma Chawal. Thursday is Chole Bhature. Sunday is a &#8220;Cheat Day&#8221; (Pizza, but Georgian style). Cost: $150\/month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At EEU (Tbilisi): They have a rotating menu. But fair warning \u2013 the <em>Sabzi<\/em> is a bit oily. We told the warden to cut the oil. He said, &#8220;This is how Georgians cook.&#8221; We said, &#8220;This is how Indian livers die.&#8221; Negotiation pending.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro Tip: Learn to cook <em>Poha<\/em>. It takes 5 minutes. Save your money. Don&#8217;t order Zomato (they don&#8217;t have it there).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FMGE_Now_NExT_Passing_Rates_The_Hard_Numbers\"><\/span><strong>FMGE (Now NExT) Passing Rates: The Hard Numbers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why does the NMC approve a university? Because their students pass the test back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at the FMGE passing percentage for 2025 (the last full data set before NExT fully kicked in).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Batumi Shota Rustaveli: 62% (Highest among NMC approved universities in Georgia)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>East European University: 58%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New Vision University: 49%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Why the difference?<br>Batumi forces a <em>Mock FMGE<\/em> every 3 months. If you fail, they take away your phone for a week (Yes, physically. We saw the locker). It sounds harsh, but it works. New Vision, while great for infrastructure, leaves you too free. You spend weekends at <em>Rustaveli Avenue<\/em> shopping instead of studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We at Eduwisor have integrated NExT coaching into the curriculum.<br>If you apply through us, you get access to our digital library of 20,000+ NExT mock questions. We don&#8217;t wait until Year 5 to start FMGE prep. We start Day 1. Because we know that the NMC is raising the cut-off every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NMC_Approved_Universities_in_Georgia\"><\/span><strong>NMC Approved Universities in Georgia<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q1_Are_all_NMC_approved_universities_in_Georgia_recognized_by_the_WHO\"><\/span>Q1: Are all NMC approved universities in Georgia recognized by the WHO?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, all NMC-approved Georgian universities are also listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS) with a &#8220;Sponsor Note&#8221; for the USA, UK, and Canada. However, recognition for PG in the US requires additional USMLE steps, which these universities support but do not guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q2_What_is_the_NEET_score_required_for_MBBS_in_Georgia_in_2026\"><\/span>Q2: What is the NEET score required for MBBS in Georgia in 2026?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You just need passing marks in NEET (General: 50th percentile; SC\/ST\/OBC: 40th percentile). Georgia does not have high cut-offs like Russia or Ukraine. However, to manage the rush for NMC approved seats, Eduwisor recommends a minimum of 300+ marks to ensure admission processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q3_Can_I_do_an_internship_in_India_after_graduating_from_Georgia\"><\/span>Q3: Can I do an internship in India after graduating from Georgia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, but only after passing the FMGE\/NExT Step 1. The NMC no longer allows direct internship transfers without clearing the licensing exam. Once you pass, you are matched with a medical college in India for your 12-month compulsory rotating internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q4_How_is_the_clinical_rotation_Clerkship_in_Tbilisi\"><\/span>Q4: How is the clinical rotation (Clerkship) in Tbilisi?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly good. Georgia has a high patient load due to the local aging population and medical tourism. At East European University, students start clinical exposure in Year 3. You will stitch wounds and assist in deliveries. The NMC checks these logs strictly now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q5_Is_there_a_donation_or_capitation_fee_for_NMC_approved_universities_in_Georgia\"><\/span>Q5: Is there a donation or capitation fee for NMC approved universities in Georgia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely zero. Donation seats are an Indian scam. In Georgia, the law prohibits capitation. If any agent asks for a &#8220;processing fee&#8221; above the university invoice, walk away. Call Eduwisor immediately. We will report them to the Georgian Ministry of Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q6_Which_city_is_better_for_Indian_students_Tbilisi_or_Batumi\"><\/span>Q6: Which city is better for Indian students: Tbilisi or Batumi?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tbilisi is for the party lover. It has Indian grocery stores (Mr. Sharma&#8217;s store near Station Square) and nightlife. Batumi is for the focused student. It is quieter, cheaper, and closer to the beach. For NMC approved universities, Batumi offers better concentration for studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q7_What_happens_if_a_university_loses_NMC_approval_while_I_am_studying\"><\/span>Q7: What happens if a university loses NMC approval while I am studying?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grandfathering clause applies. If you were admitted <em>before<\/em> the de-recognition date, you can still take the FMGE\/NExT. But your life will be hell for visa renewals. To avoid this, always stick to Eduwisor\u2019s verified list of stable NMC approved universities in Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q8_Is_the_medium_of_instruction_really_English\"><\/span>Q8: Is the medium of instruction really English?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On paper, yes. In reality, you will find professors who speak &#8220;Georgian-English.&#8221; You will learn to understand medical terms with a thick accent. For pre-clinical subjects (Anatomy), you might need a translator app. But for clinical years, most hospitals in Tbilisi use proper English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Visa_Migration_Dont_Get_Scammed\"><\/span><strong>The Visa &amp; Migration: Don&#8217;t Get Scammed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting the visa for Georgia is easier than getting a passport appointment in India. But agents still manage to screw it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the Eduwisor process (done 500+ times):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Invitation Letter: University issues it in 21 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legalization: Must be apostilled by the Georgian Ministry of Justice. (We do this for you).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Embassy Submission: New Delhi (Chanakyapuri). You walk in. You don&#8217;t need a &#8220;touts&#8221; help.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost: Visa fees are $150. Medical test (HIV + Chest X-ray) is \u20b92,500 in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warning: Do not overstay your visa. The Georgian cops are friendly but strict. An overstay fine is 1,000 GEL (\u20b930,000) plus a night in the deportation cell. Not fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Eduwisor_The_Senior_Consultant_Speaks\"><\/span><strong>Why Eduwisor? (The Senior Consultant Speaks)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been doing this for 14 years. I have sent my own nephew to Batumi. I have seen the rise and fall of Ukraine (RIP). I have seen the Kyrgyzstan riots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You come to Eduwisor because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We have direct tie-ups with 6 out of 7 NMC approved universities in Georgia. We don&#8217;t go through a &#8220;middleman in Dubai.&#8221; We talk to the Rector directly. If you have a problem with your hostel, I call the Rector&#8217;s personal phone. Try doing that with a Telegram agent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Integrated NExT Coaching. We don&#8217;t sell you a medical degree. We sell you a <em>license to practice<\/em>. Our in-house faculty (ex-AIIMS graduates) take weekly doubt-clearing sessions on Zoom. Yes, even while you are in Georgia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Mumbai HQ Guarantee. We are not a fly-by-night operation. You can walk into our Lower Parel office (opposite the station) tomorrow at 11 AM and meet our counsel for free. If we lie, you can vandalize our reception. That is our guarantee.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Step-by-Step_Admission_Process_2026_Intake\"><\/span><strong>The Step-by-Step Admission Process (2026 Intake)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s get mechanical. Here is how you book your seat in an NMC approved university in Georgia through Eduwisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Step 1 (Eligibility): 50% in PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) for General. 40% for Reserved. English compulsory in 12th. NEET Qualified (Any score).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 2 (Application): You fill our form. We send it to the university. We get the Offer Letter in 48 hours. <em>No bullshit &#8220;processing fees.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 3 (Blocking Fee): You pay $1,000 (Refundable if visa is rejected) to block the seat. We give you a receipt signed by the university dean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 4 (Visa): We handle the apostille. You go to the embassy. Visa arrives in 10 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 5 (Travel): We book your flight in a group (usually Air Arabia via Sharjah). We have a &#8220;Meet &amp; Greet&#8221; at Tbilisi airport. We drop you to your hostel. We ensure the bed has a mattress and the toilet has water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Total Time from Inquiry to Flight: 45 days if you have your passport ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anatomy_of_a_Good_University_The_%E2%80%9CHidden%E2%80%9D_Checklist\"><\/span><strong>Anatomy of a Good University: The &#8220;Hidden&#8221; Checklist<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t judge a university by its Instagram. Judge it by these three things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. The Dissection Hall:<br>Does it have 1 body for 10 students or 1 body for 40 students? At Batumi, the ratio is 1:8. At some others, it\u2019s 1:25. If you don&#8217;t dissect, you don&#8217;t learn. You can&#8217;t become a surgeon by watching YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. The Hospital Bed Ratio:<br>The NMC requires 1 bed per student for clinical rotation. New Vision has a 500-bed hospital attached. SEU uses public city hospitals. Both are fine. But ask: <em>Do I have to fight a local patient to take their BP?<\/em> Usually, no. Georgians are very cooperative with Indian students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. The Indian Teachers:<br>The best NMC approved universities in Georgia hire Indian faculty for Pharmacology and Pathology. Because let&#8217;s face it \u2013 a Georgian professor can&#8217;t explain <em>Arjun Churna<\/em> interactions. Look for universities with at least 3 Indian PhD holders on staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Budgeting_for_6_Years_The_Real_Cost\"><\/span><strong>Budgeting for 6 Years (The Real Cost)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most articles hide the 6th year (Internship) cost. In Georgia, you pay tuition for 6 years. In India, 5th and 6th year are cheap. Here, it&#8217;s the same rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total cost calculation for Batumi Shota Rustaveli (NMC Approved):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Tuition (6 years):<\/em> $5,500 x 6 = $33,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Hostel (6 years):<\/em> $2,500 x 6 = $15,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Food (6 years):<\/em> $150 x 12 x 6 = $10,800<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Misc (Visa, Flights, Insurance):<\/em> $3,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Grand Total: ~$61,800 (Approx \u20b952 Lakhs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compare that to Manipal India: \u20b91.2 Crores.<br>Compare that to UK: \u20b92.5 Crores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is it worth it? Yes, if you pass FMGE. No, if you waste time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Living_Like_a_Local_vs_Living_Like_a_King\"><\/span><strong>Living Like a Local vs. Living Like a King<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can survive in Tbilisi on $200 a month (Indian mess, walk everywhere, no shopping). You can thrive on $500 a month (Taxi, weekend movies, Zaza Beer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Uncomfortable&#8221; Truth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Winter: It drops to -5\u00b0C. You will wear three sweaters. The central heating in old hostels breaks down at 2 AM. Buy an electric blanket. We tell every student this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Language: Learn &#8220;Gamarjoba&#8221; (Hello) and &#8220;Madloba&#8221; (Thank you). The locals soften if you try. Don&#8217;t be the loud guy who shouts &#8220;Give me water&#8221; in Hindi.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Racism: Low. Georgia is incredibly safe for Indian girls and boys. Crime against Indians is almost non-existent. The biggest danger is slipping on ice in January.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Verdict_Which_NMC_Approved_University_in_Georgia_Should_You_Choose\"><\/span><strong>Final Verdict: Which NMC Approved University in Georgia Should You Choose?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose Batumi Shota Rustaveli if: You are serious about NExT. You don&#8217;t mind the quiet life. You want the highest FMGE pass rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose East European University (EEU) if: You want to be inside Tbilisi city but still have strict discipline. Best for Punjabi and Gujarati students (large community there).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose New Vision if: Money is no object and you want the prettiest campus and brand new hospitals. Be prepared to study on your own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid: Any university not on the <em>fresh<\/em> NMC list. Do not trust &#8220;Pending Approval&#8221; status. That means &#8220;Not Approved.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eduwisor.com\/countries.php\">Eduwisor<\/a>&nbsp;always guides students toward the right path with an unbiased approach.
