When it comes to picking a country for pursuing your MBBS degree, most people would choose to go for the UK in the European region. While it is a great option for students, another country that is equally favorable is Georgia. It is a European nation that achieved worldwide recognition in a very short span of time. Mostly due to its economic growth, pleasant weather conditions, quality education system, hospitality and much more. The capital city, Tbilisi, is a lot like Paris with respect to architecture, economic development, employment, and climatic conditions, and enjoys good geographical distribution. The country is surrounded by Russia in the north, Azerbaijan on the east, Armenia and Turkey on the south and by the Black Sea on the west.

The weather in the country is pleasant with continuous water and power facilities. The people in this region are friendly and welcoming to foreigners. They are good-natured and boast a rich culture similar to Paris. The main advantages for Indian students studying MBBS in Georgia are the low cost of living and the variety of hygienic foods served in the country compared to the UK.

Reasons why students choose Georgia as the preferred country to study MBBS –

• Affordable Tuition Fees

One of the biggest challenges for Indian students is to pay for donations and tuition fees in private medical colleges and the lack of seats available in government colleges. In that context, medical colleges in Georgia have a fee structure that does not burn a hole in the pocket. The yearly tuition fee payable at medical colleges in Georgia is quite low, compared to medical universities in other countries of the world. That’s why Georgia has become one of the first preferences for Indian students seeking admission for MBBS abroad.

Apart from good public transport and healthy food available at cheaper prices, Georgia also offers medical facilities that are easy to access for students along with other essential products, including cheaper stays in hotels. All these factors together make it very suitable for Indian students to pick Georgia to peruse their MBBS degree.

In general, the quality of education in Georgia is very good. There are several colleges and universities recognized by international bodies for the global standard of education that they follow. When it comes to the MBBS program, the courses are recognized by medical governing bodies like WHO, MCI, and more. This makes it easier for candidates to practice or pursue employment opportunities in the country they desire. Also, the medium of instruction is English, which makes it very easy for Indian students to grasp and communicate.
