Many students and parents are still confused about the entrance exam and whether NEET is required for admission.

This guide will answer all of your questions about the entrance exams, NEET requirements and MBBS admissions in Georgia.

Academic eligibility for MBBS in Georgia

Let's first understand the academic requirements. Georgian medical universities expect:

• The equivalent of 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
• Students in the general category must achieve a minimum of 50% in PCB. Reserved categories can qualify with 40%.
• The student must be 17 by the end of December in the year of admission.

Do Georgian universities have their own entrance exams?

Georgian medical schools do not have a separate exam for admission like AIIMS and JIPMER, which are conducted in India.

• Admission is merit based. It depends primarily on the results of your 10+2 and NEET.
• Some universities will conduct a brief interview or English Language Assessment, but it is not a competitive examination.
• Georgia is one of the best destinations to study medicine because it has a simple and straightforward admissions process.

NEET for Indian students

The NEET-UG is mandatory for Indian aspirants who plan to practice medicine in India once they have completed their MBBS degree in Georgia.

• The National Medical Commission (NMC), India, clearly states that Indians must pass NEET in order to be eligible for FMGE and NEXT exams which are compulsory licensing examinations after MBBS abroad. (Source: NMC India).
• Students who do not have NEET can still be admitted to some Georgian Universities, but will not be permitted to take the licensing exam in India.
• The NEET minimum qualifying percentile is updated annually. In 2025, for example, students in the general category would need to achieve around 50th percentile.

Even though Georgian universities may not require NEET for admission, Indian students must still consider NEET as a mandatory requirement for their future career.
