AV Global Transparency Guarantee
AV Global Overseas Education operates on a foundation of complete fee transparency and zero hidden charges, a principle we have maintained throughout our 35 years of counseling experience. Every cost figure we provide for Geomedi Medical University is based on the official 2026-27 fee structure verified directly from the university administration and cross-checked with current student batches. The tuition fee of $6,000 per year and hostel fee of $1,200 per year are paid directly to the university's designated bank account - AV Global never acts as a payment intermediary and never asks students to transfer fees to our accounts. One-time costs in Year 1 are clearly itemized before you sign any commitment: university application fee $200, registration and administrative charges $350, medical examination and health insurance $180, visa processing fee approximately Rs.8,000, and initial settling costs (bedding, kitchen basics, winter clothing) approximately Rs.15,000-20,000. From Year 2 onwards, your predictable annual costs are only tuition $6,000 plus hostel $1,200 plus personal living expenses. Monthly living expenses for food, local transport, mobile phone, and miscellaneous needs range from Rs.15,000 to Rs.28,000 based on individual lifestyle choices - we discuss this range honestly during counseling sessions and never underestimate to make the program appear cheaper than reality. AV Global does not receive any commission, referral fee, or incentive payment from Geomedi Medical University, which allows us to provide completely unbiased guidance focused solely on your child's best interests rather than our financial benefit. We do not charge consultation fees, application processing fees, or any service charges to students or parents. Our business model is built on long-term reputation and student referrals, not short-term profits. Before you pay even the application fee, we provide a detailed year-by-year cost projection spreadsheet covering all six years, calculated at current exchange rates, so your family can plan financially with confidence. This transparency ensures no surprises emerge midway through the MBBS journey.
Course Structure & Curriculum
Geomedi Medical University offers a 6-year Doctor of Medicine (MD) program following the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) with 360 credits total. Year 1 establishes medical foundations with subjects including Human Anatomy (lectures, cadaveric dissection practicals three times weekly), Histology and Embryology, Medical Biology and Genetics, Medical Chemistry and Biochemistry, Physiology (cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological systems), Medical Physics and Biophysics, Psychology and Bioethics, and Latin medical terminology.

- Students spend four days weekly in hospital settings performing 60% of their coursework in wards. Assessment includes Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) testing practical clinical skills. Year 5 is predominantly clinical (80% hospital-based) with elective rotations: Cardiology, Pulmonology, Gastroenterology, Hematology, Infectious Diseases, Orthopedics and Traumatology, Ophthalmology, ENT (Otolaryngology), Urology, Oncology, Anesthesiology and Intensive Care.
- Students begin performing basic procedures under supervision: suturing, catheterization, intubation assistance, venipuncture. Final theory examinations cover integrated clinical scenarios. Year 6 is the complete supervised clinical internship rotating every 6-8 weeks through Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics-Gynecology, Emergency Medicine, and Family Medicine.
Interns work regular hospital shifts, manage patient care under attending physician oversight, participate in operations and deliveries, and complete a clinical case presentation portfolio. Final licensing examinations include comprehensive written MCQ papers covering all subjects (modeled after FMGE/NExT format), and OSCE practical assessments testing clinical examination, diagnosis, treatment planning, and emergency management skills. Throughout all six years, special coaching classes prepare students specifically for the National Exit Test (NExT), with faculty emphasizing high-yield topics, question pattern familiarity, and clinical reasoning aligned with Indian medical licensing requirements.
FMGE / NExT Passing Performance
Geomedi Medical University is fully recognized by the National Medical Commission of India and has been continuously listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS) since 2002. This recognition makes graduates eligible to appear for the National Exit Test (NExT), which is replacing the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) as the mandatory licensing examination for all medical graduates including those from Indian medical colleges. Students must obtain an Eligibility Certificate from NMC before beginning their MBBS abroad program.
This certificate confirms that the foreign medical institution meets NMC standards and that the student meets eligibility criteria including NEET qualification. Upon completion of the 6-year program and one-year internship, graduates must return to India and pass NExT to obtain registration with the National Medical Commission or State Medical Councils to practice medicine in India. The NExT examination consists of theory (MCQ) and practical (OSCE) components testing knowledge across all medical subjects.
We strongly advise all prospective students and parents to independently verify the current NMC recognition status of Geomedi Medical University by visiting the official NMC India website at nmc. org. in and checking the list of recognized foreign medical institutions, as recognition is subject to periodic review by NMC based on quality audits and compliance with evolving regulations.
| Exam Year | Appeared | Passed | Pass Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 82 | 30 | 36.5% |
| 2023 | 75 | 26 | 34.7% |
| 2022 | 68 | 22 | 32.4% |
AV Global NExT Preparation

🍲Food
Tbilisi has witnessed significant growth in Indian dining options due to the increasing Indian student population over the past decade. Near the university area and in central Tbilisi, students regularly visit restaurants like Namaste India (Rustaveli Avenue), Taj Mahal Restaurant (Meidan Square area), Bollywood Lounge (near Freedom Square), and Spice Route (Saburtalo district) which serve authentic North and South Indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
These establishments are run by Indian families or Georgian chefs trained in Indian cooking. Monthly food expenses vary significantly based on lifestyle choices.
Students who cook at home in hostel kitchenettes spend approximately Rs. 5,000 to Rs.
9,000 per month on groceries purchased from Indian stores like Delhi Bazaar and Mumbai Market in Tbilisi which stock Aashirvaad atta, basmati rice, dals, Indian spices, pickles, and papad. Students eating primarily at restaurants spend Rs.
10,000 to Rs. 18,000 monthly.
A typical Indian meal at mid-range restaurants costs 15-25 GEL (Rs. 450-750).
Georgian cuisine offers excellent vegetarian options including Pkhali (spinach/beetroot wallets), Lobio (bean stew), Badrijani (eggplant rolls), and various fresh salads that vegetarian Indian students enjoy. The university campus has a basic canteen serving Georgian and continental food, but no dedicated Indian mess facility.
Most students develop a hybrid eating pattern - cooking breakfast and dinner at the hostel while having lunch at the campus canteen or nearby Georgian eateries to experience local culture and save time between classes.
City
Tbilisi, the capital and largest city of Georgia, is home to approximately 1. 2 million residents and serves as the political, economic, and cultural heart of the nation.
The city experiences four distinct seasons: winters (December to February) are cold with temperatures ranging from -2 to 7 degrees Celsius, requiring warm jackets and layers; spring (March to May) is pleasant at 10-20 degrees Celsius with blooming parks; summer (June to August) can be quite warm at 25-35 degrees Celsius; and autumn (September to November) offers comfortable temperatures of 12-22 degrees Celsius, ideal for sightseeing. Tbilisi has an excellent public transport network including the Metro system with two lines covering major districts at just 1 GEL (Rs.
30) per ride, extensive marshrutka (minibus) routes, and affordable taxis via Bolt and Yandex apps. Weekend attractions include the historic Old Town with its sulfur baths, Narikala Fortress offering panoramic city views, the modern Bridge of Peace, Mtatsminda Park with amusement rides and restaurants, and the Georgian National Museum.
Students frequently take weekend trips to nearby destinations like Mtskheta (ancient capital, 20 km away), Kazbegi mountain region (3 hours north), Batumi beach city on the Black Sea (6 hours by train), and the wine region of Kakheti. Monthly living costs including hostel rent, food, local transport, mobile phone, and entertainment range from Rs.
22,000 to Rs. 35,000 depending on lifestyle.
Tbilisi International Airport has direct flights to Delhi, Mumbai, and connecting flights via Dubai, Istanbul, and Doha, making travel to India convenient during summer and winter breaks.
Safety
Tbilisi consistently ranks as one of the safest cities in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus region. According to Numbeo crime index data, Tbilisi scores approximately 72 out of 100 on the safety scale, indicating very low crime levels.
Violent crime against international students is extremely rare, and petty theft is significantly lower than major Indian metros. The Georgian people are known for their hospitality toward foreigners, and Indian students report feeling welcome and respected.
Campus security at Geomedi Medical University includes gated entry points with security personnel checking ID cards, CCTV surveillance across academic buildings and laboratories, and evening security patrols. The hostel facility has 24/7 dedicated security guards, biometric access control, visitor registration systems, and separate secure floors for female students.
Female students particularly appreciate the safety levels in Tbilisi, reporting that they feel comfortable walking in well-lit central neighborhoods even during early evening hours. The safest residential areas frequented by students include Saburtalo (modern district with shopping centers), Vake (upscale neighborhood with parks), Isani (where the hostel is located), and Avlabari (near old town).
The Indian Embassy in Georgia is located at 5 Akhvlediani Street, Tbilisi, with helpline number +995 322 98 98 06 and emergency consular services available for Indian nationals. Students should save this number immediately upon arrival.
The universal emergency number in Georgia is 112, which connects to English-speaking operators for police, ambulance, or fire services. AV Global maintains a 24/7 emergency contact number specifically for our students at Geomedi Medical University, and our local Tbilisi representative is reachable within 30 minutes for any urgent situation.

Community
Geomedi Medical University currently hosts approximately 280-320 Indian students across all six years of the MBBS program, making Indians the largest international student community at the university. These students come from diverse states including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Bihar, creating a vibrant pan-Indian atmosphere on campus.
Each academic batch maintains active WhatsApp groups for coordinating notes sharing, exam preparation, carpooling for shopping trips, and organizing Indian festival celebrations. Senior students run a mentoring program where second and third-year students guide freshers through the initial settling-in period, sharing practical tips about local shopping areas, affordable restaurants, metro navigation, and professor-specific study strategies.
Geomedi Medical University's Indian Students Association organizes major cultural celebrations including grand Diwali events with diyas and rangoli competitions, Holi celebrations with traditional colors in designated outdoor areas, Independence Day flag hoisting ceremonies, and Navratri garba nights. The university administration is supportive of these cultural activities and even participates in Indian festival celebrations, fostering excellent cross-cultural relationships.
During exam periods, study groups naturally form where students collaborate on revising complex subjects like Anatomy and Pathology. AV Global conducts monthly virtual check-in sessions with student batches to gather feedback on academic progress, address any concerns about hostel facilities or university administration, and provide motivational guidance.
These regular touchpoints ensure that students never feel isolated and parents receive authentic progress updates beyond just academic grades.
Social Life
Beyond academics and clinical training, Geomedi Medical University provides several avenues for recreation and social engagement. The campus includes a modest gymnasium with basic cardio equipment and free weights that students access for fitness routines, though many Indian students prefer outdoor jogging in nearby Lisi Lake park.
Common areas in the academic buildings and hostel serve as informal gathering spaces where students relax between lectures, play cards, or simply chat over Georgian tea. The university does not have extensive sports facilities on campus, but students organize weekend cricket matches in public grounds and play badminton at sports complexes in Saburtalo district.
Tbilisi itself offers rich entertainment options - students frequent Galleria Tbilisi and East Point shopping malls for movies (Hollywood and Bollywood films), window shopping, and food courts. The Old Town area with its cobblestone streets, art galleries, and quirky cafes becomes a favorite weekend hangout spot.
Rustaveli Avenue, the main cultural boulevard, hosts street performances, book markets, and outdoor concerts. For nature lovers, the nearby Turtle Lake and Mtatsminda Park cable car offer peaceful retreats from city life.
Adventurous students take weekend trips to Kazbegi for trekking, Gudauri for skiing (winter months), or Batumi for beach relaxation (summer). Monthly entertainment and social expenses typically range from Rs.
4,000 to Rs. 8,000 depending on individual preferences - some students are content with budget-friendly local experiences while others indulge in regular restaurant outings and travel.
The social life at Geomedi Medical University strikes a healthy balance, allowing students to form lasting friendships and create memorable experiences while maintaining focus on their primary goal of becoming competent doctors.
Career Pathways After Graduation
After completing the six-year MBBS program at Geomedi Medical University and receiving the Doctor of Medicine degree, graduates planning to practice in India must clear the National Exit Test (NExT), which has replaced the earlier FMGE screening test. NExT is a comprehensive examination testing both theoretical knowledge and clinical reasoning across all medical subjects through computer-based MCQ format and practical OSCE stations. Upon clearing NExT with the qualifying percentile, graduates apply for provisional registration with their respective State Medical Councils, a process that typically takes 2-3 months involving document verification and administrative formalities.
- Starting salary for MBBS doctors in India varies significantly by sector: government medical officers in primary health centers or district hospitals earn Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 90,000 per month with job security and pension benefits; private hospital resident doctors or duty medical officers earn Rs.
- 40,000 to Rs. 70,000 initially, increasing with experience; corporate hospital emergency physicians can earn Rs. 80,000 to Rs.
- 1,20,000. Many graduates pursue postgraduate MD/MS specialization through NEET-PG after gaining 1-2 years of work experience, which significantly enhances career prospects and earning potential. Government versus private sector presents a classic trade-off: government positions offer lower starting salaries but excellent job security, defined increments, and work-life balance, while private hospitals offer higher initial packages but demand longer working hours and provide less job security.
Geomedi Medical University's curriculum, though not specifically USMLE-focused like some competitors, provides solid foundational knowledge in basic sciences and adequate clinical exposure during the final three years, preparing students reasonably well for NExT's clinical case-based questions and OSCE practical assessments. The advantage lies in dedicated NExT coaching support provided by AV Global starting from Year 3 onwards.
