Living in Georgia

Georgia sits at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia, bordered by Russia, Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. Tbilisi is the capital and largest city, and hosts most of the private medical universities Indian students attend. Note: there is no Indian Embassy in Georgia — consular services are handled via the Indian Embassy in Armenia.

Important Policy Update — Universities to Avoid

In December 2025, Georgia’s Minister of Education announced that starting the 2026-27 academic year, Georgian state (public) universities will stop admitting new international students. This directly affects Tbilisi State Medical University, Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University, and Akaki Tsereteli State University. This does not affect private universities, which remain open to international students. Students already enrolled at state universities are unaffected.

Climate in Georgia

Georgia has a varied climate given its geography between the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains, with a humid subtropical climate along the coast (Batumi) and more continental conditions inland (Tbilisi).
