Comparison with Russia and Ukraine

Many agents are spreading false information about Georgia. This is because they do not have collaboration with MBBS universities in Georgia. Hence, they defame MBBS study in Georgia so that they can send the students to the Ukraine or Russia. However, by facts, Georgia is a much better destination for Medical Studies than Russia or Ukraine.

The majority of universities in Russia offer a bilingual medical course. However, their agents in India do not pass on this information to the students. So, the students who go Russia are taught in the Russian language for the last 3 years of the MBBS course. This affects the understanding of the students and they fail to grasp the information properly.

Similarly, medical universities in Ukraine have a low educational standard. Professors of the Universities ask for money from the students to pass them to the next semester. This allows for students to clear their exams without studying. Students who can afford to pay to the professors clear their exams without studying. Hence, this kills the motivation to study in the students.

There is also tension between Russia and Ukraine making the locations unfit and unsafe for students. Unless the problems amongst Russia and Ukraine gets resolved, we advise Indian students to not risk by proceeding with medical studies over there.

Conclusion: Georgia is a much better destination for MBBS studies. The educational quality in Georgia is unmatched by the likes of Russia and Ukraine. In fact, after China, Georgia is the 2nd best destination to study MBBS.
