Uzbekistan has become one of the most practical MBBS destinations for Indian students: government universities, English-medium teaching, low living costs and a food and culture that feel familiar. TIT runs the official Bangalore admission office for the Tashkent State Medical University Termez Branch.
Uzbekistan's government has spent the last decade modernising its medical universities and opening them to international students. For Indian families, three things stand out: fees that sit well below Indian private colleges, English-medium programmes structured to meet NMC's FMGL 2021 rules, and dedicated Indian batches at several campuses.
Why families choose Uzbekistan
- Government universities — admissions are merit-based on NEET qualification, with no capitation or donation.
- Indian-friendly campuses — Indian mess food, Indian faculty at selected branches, and large Indian student communities.
- Safety — Uzbekistan is widely regarded as one of the safer countries in Central Asia for students.
- Close to home — direct flights from Delhi to Tashkent take about three hours.
Our flagship: TSMU Termez Branch
TIT International Educational Trust is the Bangalore admission office for the Termez Branch of Tashkent State Medical University. The complete admission — counselling, documentation, visa and travel — is processed from our Kothanur office, and students join a dedicated Indian batch taught by Indian faculty with an Indian director on campus.
