What DTMU Students Say
Indian students studying MBBS in Georgia at David Tvildiani Medical University share their experience.
“Choosing DTMU for MBBS in Georgia was the best decision of my life. The USMLE-based curriculum is rigorous, the faculty genuinely cares, and the NMC recognition gives me confidence about practising in India.”
“I researched every option for MBBS abroad and DTMU stood out because of its 1989 legacy and USMLE alignment. The tuition is affordable and the support from AV Global made the admission process smooth.”
“The English medium teaching at DTMU is genuinely world-class. I never felt out of depth despite coming from a Tamil medium background. The campus in Rustavi has Indian food which made settling in easy.”
“I was worried about FMGE after MBBS in Georgia but DTMU's curriculum directly prepares you. My USMLE Step 1 preparation started from Year 1 itself. The fees are transparent — no hidden costs.”
“Comparing MBBS in Georgia vs Russia, Georgia won easily for me — safer country, English medium, and NMC recognition. DTMU's hostel and Indian food facilities made the transition from India very comfortable.”
“The $6,000 annual tuition seemed too good to be true but it is the real figure. DTMU charges exactly what they advertise. The six-year MD degree is internationally respected and I have a clear path to the USMLE.”
“Being at the best medical university in Georgia is something I am proud of. DTMU's WDOMS listing and NMC recognition means my degree is accepted in India and globally. I highly recommend DTMU to any NEET-qualified student.”
“DTMU Georgia was my first choice because it is a private university unaffected by the 2026 state university freeze. I got my offer letter quickly through AV Global and started my MBBS on schedule.”
“The recognition of DTMU by WHO, NMC, and WDOMS gave my parents confidence. Tbilisi is a modern, safe city. I am in my third year and the clinical exposure at teaching hospitals has been excellent.”
“I chose DTMU after my NEET score and I have no regrets. The admission process through AV Global was transparent and professional. The USMLE-focused teaching gives me options beyond India for my medical career.”
