MBBS in Georgia for Pakistani students: a 2027 guide
Georgia is an increasingly popular choice for Pakistani students who want an English-taught medical degree abroad without the cost of the UK or Australia. It can be an excellent route — provided you understand PMDC’s rules and the licensing exam you’ll sit when you return. Here’s the straight version.
Why Georgia appeals to Pakistani students
The medical programme is delivered entirely in English, tuition starts around $5,500 per year, there is no entrance exam, and Georgia is comparatively close with a familiar, welcoming culture for South Asian students. Both universities we place students into — CIU and GRUNI — are listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools.
Will PMDC recognise your Georgian degree?
To practise medicine in Pakistan after graduating abroad, you must clear the National Licensing Examination (NLE) — administered through the Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PMDC) and sometimes referred to as the NRE for foreign graduates. Under the PMDC Act 2022, this exam is mandatory for all foreign medical and dental graduates before full registration. It typically has two parts: a written/theory step and a clinical skills step.
Do this before you enrol: confirm your university is WDOMS-listed (CIU and GRUNI are), and check PMDC’s current eligibility and prerequisite rules for the year you plan to start. Regulations under the PMDC Act have been evolving — message us and we’ll give you the latest position for your batch.
The licensing path in plain terms
Studying in Georgia does not automatically let you practise in Pakistan — no foreign degree does. The path is: complete your 6-year MD at a WDOMS-listed university, keep all your transcripts and internship records, return to Pakistan, register and sit the NLE, and pass both steps. Thousands of Pakistani foreign graduates go through this every year; the students who struggle are the ones who picked an unlisted university or lost track of their paperwork.

Documents Pakistani students need
- Passport
- FSc (pre-medical) / matriculation certificates and transcripts
- Birth certificate and CNIC/B-Form
- Medical/health certificate and passport photos
Several of these need attestation and legalisation — see our documents checklist, and we handle the sequencing for you.
The honest bottom line
Georgia gives Pakistani students an English-medium, affordable, WDOMS-listed medical degree with a clear — if exam-gated — route home via the NLE. Do the two things that matter: choose a listed university, and confirm PMDC’s current rules for your intake year before you commit. That’s exactly the part we handle with you.
