Why Georgia is Rising in Popularity
Georgia has quietly become one of the most sought-after MBBS abroad destinations for Indian students. Why? European-standard education, English-medium programs, reasonable cost (₹30–50L total), mild climate, and importantly — strong FMGE pass rates.
Education System Overview
Georgian medical universities follow the Bologna Process (European Higher Education Area), which means:
- 6-year MBBS program
- Integrated theory and clinical training
- Modern simulation labs
- English-medium for international students
