About the University

Why David Tvildiani?

David Tvildiani Medical University is a specialist medical institution in Tbilisi, teaching its programme in English. Being a dedicated medical university rather than a general university with a medical faculty means teaching resources, laboratories and clinical partnerships are concentrated entirely on medical training.

It is the sixth Georgian university in our Priority 1 band. As with the rest of that group, the case for it rests on how straightforward Georgia is for an Indian student — climate, cost, food, safety and a short journey home — rather than on any one distinguishing claim.

DTMU was founded in 1989 by David and Dimitri Tvildiani and has grown to include the AIETI medical school, a nursing school and doctoral programmes alongside the undergraduate degree. Its alumni practise as physicians in universities and clinics across the United States and Europe, and the university's reputation among Indian students rests on how deliberately it prepares them for international licensing examinations. It is affiliated with the Association of Medical Schools in Europe, the Association for Medical Education in Europe, FAIMER, ORPHEUS and the Eurasian Universities Union.

Tuition, hostel and living costs for David Tvildiani Medical University are confirmed directly with the university for each intake, and are not published in our current brochure. A counsellor will give you the complete written cost breakdown — including everything payable beyond tuition — before you commit to anything.

Student Experience

What studying at David Tvildiani is actually like

Easy visa, light documentation

Georgia runs one of the most straightforward student visa processes of any destination we place into, with a short documentation list and a high approval rate.

Low cost of living

Day-to-day costs sit well below Western Europe, which is a large part of why Georgia has become one of the most preferred destinations for Indian students.

Indian food and cultural familiarity

Tbilisi and Batumi both have established Indian restaurants and grocery supply, and a settled Indian student community to arrive into.

Close to home

Three to four hours' flying time from India — the shortest of any European-standard destination, and it matters when families want to visit.

Where You Would Live

Living in Tbilisi

Campus is where you study. Tbilisi is where you spend the rest of it.

Tbilisi, Georgia

Georgia's capital sits on the banks of the Kura, and it is where almost all of Georgian medical education happens. It is a genuinely old city — Persian and Russian layers, Eastern Orthodox churches, art nouveau facades and Soviet modernist blocks, with the reconstructed Narikala fortress and the Kartlis Deda statue above it all. The climate is humid subtropical shading into continental: moderately cold winters, warm summers, rain spread across the year and an annual average around 13°C, which is a mild adjustment rather than a shock. For a student it means the largest Indian community in the country, a metro and cheap ride-hailing, Indian restaurants and messes, and a safe, walkable centre.

Common Questions

MBBS at David Tvildiani — your questions answered

Yes. Since the National Medical Commission's 2018 regulations, every Indian student who wishes to study medicine abroad and practise in India must qualify NEET-UG. You need only to clear the qualifying percentile — you do not need a rank high enough for an Indian government seat. Without a valid NEET qualification you will not receive an Eligibility Certificate from the NMC, and you will not be permitted to sit FMGE or NExT on your return.
