David Tvildiani Medical University, Georgia



I was born and brought up in Mumbai, India. I have completed my primary and secondary schooling from Gokuldham High School and Junior College (ICSE), Mumbai. Due to unforeseeable circumstances, I was unable to attempt NEET. And to not waste any academic years, I decided to opt for MBBS in my current university. Right now, I am a medical student studying at David Tvildiani Medical University, Georgia. 

David Tvildiani Medical University (DTMU) was founded in the year 1991 and has been taking Indian students since the past approximately 10 years. Currently, the strength of Indian students in DTMU is almost 600. The staff and faculty of this university is English speaking and the quality of professors teaching here is improving by the day. The syllabus is taught in English and explanations are offered as asked. Certain professors are outstandingly good at explaining concepts but most of them are simply alright at their subjects. The course is 6years long with

2.5 years of basic medicine(150 ECTS),
2.5 years of clinical studies(150 ECTS), and
1.0 year of internship(60 ECTS).

DTMU is officially MCI approved. There are two campuses in Georgia. One in Tbilisi and one in Rustavi. The one in Rustavi additionally has hostel and canteen services.


Georgia overall is a good country. There is an issue of language barrier because approximately 50% or the population doesn’t speak English, which mostly includes the geriatric folks. It ain’t so difficult to learn the language sufficient enough to communicate for daily purposes. The university provides compulsory Georgian language lectures for the first 2.5 years which is very helpful to every foreign student living in Georgia. Georgians are generally decent and polite towards foreigners and racism is almost negligible as far as I have personally experienced. But my fellow classmates and friends have complained witnessing some extent of racism against Indians.

The city of Tbilisi would be cool most of the year but nothing like Russia or China and when it starts to get warm, the university always gives summer vacations during which most Indians travel back to visit their families. Due to the ever increasing Indian students taking admission in various medical universities here, there has been a constantly increasing number of Indian restaurants coming up all around the city. The banking systems are supported by the university as ‘Student Bank Account’ as per the student status registration. Government transportation(buses, minibuses, and metro) is very cheap as compared to India, and other than buses and minibuses, cabs and carpool services are also available.

I would recommend DTMU to anyone who’s willing to study abroad because the level of knowledge provided has proven to be sufficient enough for the MCI clearance rate to be more than 95%. Also, any Indian students taking admission in DTMU would have me as their senior and I could guide them through the university process as well as for any other utilities required for living in Tbilisi.

Aerial View of City Hi Guys! I am Prathmesh from Indore, India. I am a third-year student of Northern State  Medical University, Arkhangelsk, Russia. Arkhangelsk is one of the bigger cities in Russia. I appeared  for NEET exam 2 times but hard luck struck, unfortunately, I did not get government medical college in  India and private medical colleges in India was not my interest because they are not economical and  charge lots of donation.  Then I thought of MBBS abroad, I attended many seminars regarding that. My brother was also studying in NSMU and he asked me to come here but still, I wanted to attend seminars and wanted to search for the best university. I found that NSMU is one of the colleges which is recommended by many agencies.          Northern State Medical University was founded on 16 th  December 1932. Earlier the name of the university was Arkhangelsk State Medical University, later it was named Northern State Medical University.  5 years 8 month

Campus Building Myself Himanshu, a 2nd-year  student of Ivano  Frankivsk National  Medical University (IFNMU). I’m  studying General Medicine  here in the city of Ivano  Frankivsk, Ukraine. Basically, I  am  from Lucknow,  UP. After completing my school I wanted  to become  a   doctor. As I was interested in MBBS I decided  to  crack the NEET Exam like most of us do. I got just  35%  marks in 2 attempts. And, yes! It was not  enough to take any  private or government college in  India. I was stressed for my  career and it is too  expensive to study in India for any middle- class  family. Also, the chance of getting a government  medical  college is very very rare. Then, my elder  brother suggested  me to study MBBS from abroad. I  considered a lot of  countries before finally choosing  Ukraine . This University, IFNMU, was founded in the  year  1945. It is absolutely affordable for any  middle-class  student who is planning to study MBBS Abroad. The quality of
