Frequently Asked Questions
Questions Indian students and parents usually ask
Clear answers before you take the next step.
Yes. Georgia is consistently rated among the safer countries in the region for international students, and Tbilisi has a low violent-crime rate.
No, Tbilisi (where GAU is located) is peaceful and unaffected by any conflict. Daily life, classes, and student activity continue normally.
Students have access to local hospitals and clinics, and the university and hostel support staff step in immediately in an emergency. We recommend every student carry health insurance, and we'll walk you through exactly what it covers before departure.
For international students, the BBA (3 years program) tuition fee is USD 5,000 per year. The MBA (2 years program) tuition fee is USD 5,500 per year.
Yes. Hostel accommodation is available with 2-seater, 3-seater and 4-seater room options. Indian food support is also available, including vegetarian and non-vegetarian meal options for students.
Hostels have on-site staff, controlled entry, and separate arrangements are available. It's a supervised environment, not an open, unmonitored one — closer to a managed student residence than a random rented flat.
No. There is no written entrance exam. Admission is based on a simple interaction with the admission panel — a conversation to understand the student's background and goals, not a test to pass or fail.
No. It's a short, friendly conversation, usually about the student's education so far and why they want to study abroad. There's no pass/fail cutoff score — it's meant to check genuine intent, not test knowledge.
Yes. The panel is looking for basic conversational comfort, not fluency or polish. Many students who join are not naturally confident speakers at first, and this improves quickly once classes begin.
Yes, GAU is a recognised university and its degrees can go through the standard equivalence process in India when needed (for higher studies or specific job applications).
Yes, our hostels offer Indian food options including vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals, and Tbilisi has a growing Indian community and Indian restaurants — most students settle into the food within the first few weeks.
