Best FMGE Passing Percentage

● The Foreign Medical Graduate Exam (FMGE) is the test that Indian graduates from foreign medical universities must pass to get a license to practice as a doctor in India. Ultimately, the most important thing is whether you pass this exam. By examining the FMGE passing percentages, you can identify which countries produce more successful doctors. This allows you to compare the success rates of graduates from different countries.

You’ll rarely find English-speaking locals in Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. However, in the past twenty years, the number of English speakers in Georgia has increased significantly due to the government’s emphasis on the language. Their goal is for every child to learn English, so it has been made a mandatory subject in schools. Georgia plans to make English an official language in the next few years. Today, the younger generation speaks and understands English; even locals study MBBS in English.

However, it is compulsory to learn Georgian while studying in Georgia. Georgian will be a part of the curriculum for three years. Much of the older generation knows Georgian only.

● Pleasant Weather

Here is a snapshot of the monthly average high and low temperatures in Georgia:

A student who moves to a city with weather similar to their hometown will adjust more easily. Countries with climates similar to India often exhibit comparable disease patterns; therefore, students studying MBBS in Georgia will gain experience treating diseases common in India during their clinical practice.

Georgia has pleasant weather in the summer and mild winters, making it a better option for Indian students than Russia, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. Uzbekistan and Bangladesh are also good choices.

Is MBBS in Georgia Valid in India? Does Georgia Fulfill FMGL Regulations?

According to the Ministry of Education, Science, and Youth of Georgia, the MBBS course in Georgia complies with the FMGL Regulations 2021. Here is what was published on the official website of the Embassy of Georgia to the Republic of India –

Medical programs (MD) of schools/universities in Georgia are accredited/authorized by the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement, which is internationally recognized as an accredited Agency by World Federation of Medical Education (WFME).

This International accreditation ensures that all MD diplomas of graduates issued in Georgia are recognized worldwide resulting in a permanently increasing number of foreign students.

In line with national legislation and related regulations on higher medical education and Medical Sector Benchmarks, which is mandatory to be fulfilled in order to get accreditation, the duration of undergraduate MD programs in Georgia (equal to MBBS qualification in India and UK) is 6 years (360 ECTS) including internship during the 6th, graduating year.

According to the Law of Georgia on Medical Practice, graduates of MD program have the right to be employed as a junior doctor – position that may be occupied by a MD graduate from accredited higher medical institution, who shall perform the duties of a doctor according to the instructions. There are no additional exams required for MD program graduates for the status of junior doctor.

In addition, according to the Article 14 of the same Law, junior doctor is authorized to fulfill the duties of a doctor. Thus, it fully equals to MBBS qualification in India. Junior doctor performs clinical duties under guidance of certified specialist. If certified doctor is not available, a junior doctor can provide emergency medical care independently.

All of the above mentioned clearly illustrates that medical education in Georgia is in compliance with the new rules of NMC.

MBBS in Georgia Budget

Georgia is an affordable MBBS abroad destination for Indian students compared to many EU nations. However, compared to Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, it is expensive. If you have a budget of under ₹35 lakhs, then Georgia is not an option for you.

The average fee in Georgia is between USD 5,000 and USD 6,000 per year, or approximately ₹4,30,000 to ₹5,20,000 per year. The cost of accommodation and food in Tbilisi is approximately USD 300 or ₹25,000 per month.

Therefore, the estimated cost of studying MBBS in Georgia for Indian students, including tuition fees, accommodation & food expenses, is around ₹40-50 lakh. In a few universities, the budget is as high as ₹55-60 lakh. Similarly, countries like Romania (EU), Serbia and Bulgaria (EU) have a budget of approx. ₹55-70 lakh.

If your budget is around ₹30 lakh, you can opt for MBBS in Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, or Kazakhstan.
