Why students choose GRUNI
What a GRUNI medical education gives you
Recognised and listed
Accredited in Georgia by the NCEQE and listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools, with an ECFMG sponsor note that keeps the USMLE pathway open.
Hands-on from early
The course moves from a short foundation stage into a long clinical stage, with clerkships in affiliated settings rather than years of theory alone.
A settled home in Tbilisi
Separate hostel accommodation for international students, Indian mess food on hand, and a safe European capital well connected to India by air.
Built for Indian aspirants
The six-year structure and English medium are designed to line up with what the National Medical Commission looks for under its FMGL 2021 rules.
A private university, open for intake
As a private institution, GRUNI continues to admit international students even as several Georgian state universities have closed their foreign intake.
The cost, honestly
Clear fees, a merit scholarship, no surprises
Annual tuition for the MD program is 5,500 US dollars, with a merit scholarship that reduces it for strong academic performers. Hostel and Indian food are budgeted separately, and the full India package is set out in rupees so a family can plan for all six years.
