Many Indian students see pursuing MBBS course abroad as an expensive dream. Yet, Georgia has risen as a ray of hope, providing world class education at fraction of the cost – and with plenty of scholarships & funding options. Some students even passed out from their MBBS in Georgia with overwhelmingly large scholarships and a firm contention that financial constraints should not hinder dreams to become doctors.
This story brings you some inspirational real-life stories of Indian students who were able to live their dream and become doctors, thanks to scholarships and determination.
Story 1: Neha Sharma – From Lucknow to Tbilisi through merit
Neha Sharma, a promising student from Lucknow, had always wanted to become a doctor, but she could not afford the steep fees that private medical colleges in India demand. Scoring 82% in her PCB subjects of class12 and successfully passing her NEET, she decided to seek admission for the MBBS program at Tbilisi State Medical University (TSMU).
A 50% reduction of tuition fee granted by the higher institution to international students, for her excellent academic performance. Further down Neha’s annual tuition and hostel fees costs to just under USD 3,000 (≈ INR 2.5 lakh/year).
Neha says,
“Georgea opened the way to study medicine by not putting a strain on my parents. The scholarship made my dream possible, and I am now preparing for the NEXT exam to work in practice in India.”

Story 2: Rohan Mehta – Full Scholarship programme at Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University
Rohan Mehta (Jaipur) felt strongly about the healthcare, but he was very financially weak. After scoring 85% in his class 12 boards & a good NEET score, he received one hundred percent scholarship from Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University – one of their NMC approved colleges.
He did well in his studies, consistently maintaining the grades that enabled him to renew his scholarship each year. Rohan said the university's merit program incentivises consistency and high achievement, allowing students to concentrate more on studies than money.
Rohan adds,
“Georgia is more than just inexpensive — it’s rewarding. I was pushed to do medical research by my professors and I had real life experience; hospitals associated with the university.”
The 21-year-old’s story is a testimony to why merit-based scholarships in Georgia actually do aid Indian students who deserve them.
3) Priya Nair – Successful with a MBA Need-Based Grant
Hailing from a middle-class family in Kerala, Priya Nair knew that she wanted to study medicine but did not have the financial means to go abroad. She submitted an application for the need-based financial support, with help from an education consultant, that is available from Akaki Tsereteli State University working together with the Georgian Ministry of Education.
This scholarship paid 60% of her tuition and a monthly allowance for living. Priya says,
“My college financial aid application was assessed based on my academic background and family income. I’m thankful for the Georgian system of education, which gives all international students an equal opportunity.”
