Georgia has emerged as a preferred destination for Indian MBBS aspirants. Its modern medical colleges, globally recognized degrees, tuition affordability, and acceptance of English‑medium instruction make it a top choice. A key question for prospective applicants is:
What minimum Class 12 marks are required to get into Georgia’s MBBS program?
This guide demystifies the eligibility requirements, minimum mark thresholds, related NEET criteria, how Indian boards compare to Georgian standards, and practical tips to strengthen your application for 2025.
Before diving into marks, let’s understand why Georgia stands out:
Tuition fees range from ₹30–40 lakh for the entire program (5 years)
MBBS degrees are recognized by National Medical Commission (NMC), World Health Organization (WHO), FAIMER, etc.
Course is conducted in English for international students
No donation or hidden fees
Indian food, community, and culture are easily accessible in cities like Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi
With cost and quality aligned, the 12th percentage eligibility becomes a critical first filter in the application process.
Per NMC regulations:
Indian students must qualify NEET 2025 with minimum percentile (50th for general, 40th for SC/ST/OBC)
NMC requires minimum 50% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, Biology in Class 12 for general category students and 40% for reserved categories
English must be one of the subjects in Class 12
Georgia colleges follow these Indian eligibility standards closely to ensure international students remain eligible for FMGE/NExT licensing in India later.
While NMC sets general rules, Georgian universities may have slight variations in eligibility. Here’s a snapshot of top institutions:
Minimum 50% aggregate in PCB + English
Some flexibility: candidates with 48–49% may be considered case by case
Usually brief written test or interview to assess academics
University requires 50% in PCB; English must be one subject
Emphasizes timely application and clear mark sheets
Requires minimum 50%; reservations for high NEET scorers
Interview includes general academic readiness
Maintains minimum 50% PCB marks; English or Georgian language is advisory
International applicants are encouraged to have slightly higher NEET marks
Marks requirement consistent with NMC norms
Merit-based admission, with early applicants preferred
Conclusion: Across major universities, 50% aggregate in 12th PCB + English is the standard, subject to verification. Lower marks may impact SEA (Scholarship or evaluation) but rarely outright disqualify.
Many students with 48–49% ask if they still stand a chance. Here are scenarios and possible outcomes:
Case-by-case consideration by smaller private universities
Exceptions granted if the candidate has higher NEET percentile (say 140+ score, top 50 percentile)
A gap year with improvement in NEET or relevant certificate may help
Some universities may require equivalency certificate if board percentages are not directly matched
But majority of well-known universities insist strictly on 50% or they may offer conditional acceptance pending supplementary exam results.
Add marks in Physics + Chemistry + Biology (Group total)
Divide by total maximum marks in these three subjects
Must be ≥ 50% for general category
Separately English subject mark must be recorded (no minimum percentage for English, just presence)
Class 12 marksheet (original + notarized copy)
Migration certificate (from your board)
Translated English version if original board certificate is in regional language
NEET result certificate for verification
Universities will inspect scanned copies initially. Original verification happens after arrival.
Besides marks, NEET matters greatly:
Indian students must have qualified NEET 2025
Lower 12th marks cannot be compensated by NEET if below eligibility threshold
But once eligible, strong NEET scores (say 140 percentile in general category) may boost your chances and sometimes prioritise you for scholarship or hostel
Georgia admissions require NEET along with 12th percentage proof — both are mandatory for NMC compliance.
| Category | Minimum PCB Aggregate | English Subject | NEET Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General | 50% | Must exist | Yes | Applicable across all Georgian MBBS programs |
| OBC / SC / ST | 40% | Must exist | Yes | Schedules categories recognized per Indian board |
| Slightly below criteria (48–49%) | Possible case by case | Yes | Strong NEET score and board clarification letter | Rarely accepted |
| English medium board students | Same criteria applies | Must have English or English medium certificate | Yes | Prefer direct conversion based boards |
Students who delayed MBBS entry by a year or two:
They must submit gap certificate affidavit
If re-attempted 12th exam with improved PCB marks, they can apply with updated scores
Universities accept re-marks as long as they meet threshold
Gap should be supported by reasons (medical, NEET preparation, etc.)
Georgia universities are generally flexible but verify documentation carefully.
Applying with Telugu medium marksheet and no English subject recorded
Having PCB aggregate just 49% but applying without clarification or supplementary mark certificate
Believing NEET qualification is enough even when board marks are below minimum
Not translating documents properly
Not submitting migration certificate or equivalence from board
To avoid rejection, meet 50% threshold strictly and provide clear academic documentary proof.
“I had exactly 50% in my state board PCB and just passed English with 60%. After NEET 138, I applied early and got admission in Tbilisi.” – Ravi Kumar, Uttar Pradesh
“I had 48% PCB initially. I attempted supplementary and raised to 53%. Georgia University accepted updated marks. Gap certificate and NEET score helped.” – Sneha Sharma, Delhi
Apply Early: Top universities fill seats quickly
Retake Board Exam if necessary: Improve marginal PCB marks
Prepare NEET well: Strong score can help in conditional acceptances
Get official English translation if needed: Especially for state board marksheets
Ensure English is listed as a subject: Even if you studied in vernacular
End of Class 12 exam: April–May 2025
Result declaration: May–June 2025
Document preparation and translation: June–July 2025
NEET 2025 exam: May 2025
Application to Georgia universities: July–September 2025
Admission offer issuance: August–October 2025
Visa and travel preparation: October–November 2025
Semester start in Georgia: Typically September–October 2025
Students with strong PCB marks (≥ 60%) and good NEET performance often qualify for small scholarships or hostel priority, reducing living cost slightly. Low PCB scorers just above 50% may need to prove more during visa interview.
Q: Is 50% in PCB mandatory?
Yes, for undergraduate MBBS admission and NMC eligibility.
Q: Is there any university in Georgia that accepts below 50%?
Rarely, and only under special conditions with high NEET score or supplementary examination.
Q: Do they look at overall 12th percentage or only PCB?
They assess specifically the Physics, Chemistry, and Biology aggregate.
Q: English subject check—is there a minimum percentage?
No, just presence of English as a subject is required.
Q: If I reattempt 12th exam and get higher marks, will the university consider it?
Yes, provided you submit updated marksheet before deadline.
Meeting the minimum 50% aggregate in Class 12 PCB (40% for reserved categories) plus English subject is mandatory for Georgia MBBS admissions. Candidates must also qualify NEET 2025.
Students should approach application with complete documentation, including translations, age proof, and gap affidavits. With strong preparation and proper timing, admission is highly achievable in Georgia’s MBBS programs for 2025.
