Not just tuition. Every cost for 6 complete years, based on what our students actually spend. No surprises.
Simpler than most people think. Georgia is one of the least restrictive MBBS destinations.
Recognized doesn't mean automatic license. It means your degree qualifies you to sit the licensing exam in that country. Here's every recognition MedWizard's partner universities hold.
Two primary routes. Hundreds of graduates have taken both. The path exists — the question is which way you go.
From inquiry to offer letter in days. No complex application portals.
5,000+ Indian students. Large Malayali community. Georgian food, halal options, weather, safety — what it's actually like.
Questions we get every day. Answered by people who have lived the answers.
Yes. TSMU, CIU, and University of Georgia are all approved by the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India. Graduates from these universities are eligible to appear for FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Examination) or NExT examination to get full medical registration in India.
No minimum score. The NMC regulation requires only that a student has qualified (passed) NEET — there is no minimum score threshold for admission to overseas medical universities. PCB 50%+ in Class 12 and a passing NEET scorecard = full eligibility. A student with the passing cutoff score has equal legal standing as a student with 700.
Total cost for 6 years (tuition + accommodation + food + transport + misc) is approximately $42,000–$55,000 depending on the university and lifestyle. Annual tuition starts at $6,000/year at CIU and University of Georgia. TSMU MBBS is $8,000/year. Living costs in Tbilisi are approximately $400–600/month.
Yes. Georgian medical degrees from WHO-listed and NMC-approved universities are recognized by DHA (Dubai), DOH/formerly HAAD (Abu Dhabi), SCFHS (Saudi Arabia), QCHP (Qatar), and MOH UAE. After graduation, you appear for the respective licensing examination in your target GCC country. MedWizard has graduates who have done exactly this.
4,221 students from Georgian universities appeared for FMGE in a single exam cycle. This is one of the highest volumes among overseas MBBS destinations, indicating strong graduate output and confidence in the Georgia pathway among Indian students and families.
Georgia is consistently ranked among the safest countries in Europe. Tbilisi has a large and established Indian student community (5,000+). Standard urban precautions apply. Female students live without major safety concerns. MedWizard's MedVenta Residences include female-only buildings in Tbilisi with on-site management.
No. TSMU, CIU, and University of Georgia all teach medicine in English medium and do not require IELTS or TOEFL for admission. This is a significant advantage over several other overseas MBBS destinations.
Required documents: Class 12 marksheet (PCB 50%+), NEET scorecard (qualification, any passing score), valid passport (2+ years validity), passport-size photographs, and a medical fitness certificate at the time of enrollment. No IELTS/TOEFL. No donation or management quota. MedWizard's counselors guide you through every step.
The first fee is only $130, paid after you receive the official offer letter from the university. You don't pay anything before having a confirmed offer in hand. No large advance, no speculative payments. Full fee transparency is a MedWizard policy.
Yes. Georgia allows international students to work part-time legally. MedWizard's parent company MedVenture Group operates businesses in Tbilisi (M's Kitchen, MedVenta Residences, and others) — MedWizard students have access to part-time work opportunities within this ecosystem.
