No, the TSMU eligibility criteria for Indian students include NEET qualification for TSMU admissions. The best part about the qualification requirement for NEET is that the cutoffs are low, with about a 50 percentile requirement of around 130-215 marks.
TSMU admissions require a much lower cutoff and have lower fees than those of private medical colleges in India. Admissions are worth it for average Indian students who are looking for lower cutoffs, global exposure and affordability compared to private medical colleges in India.

Yes, the Tbilisi State Medical University campus is Indian freindly. You can find an Indian mess on the university campus and other Indian restaurants nearby. Located in the Tbilisi district of Georgia, it takes around 6.5 hours from India to reach Georgia with a direct flight to Tbilisi.
