### Can Global Edge guarantee a visa?
No. Visa outcomes depend on the applicant’s file and current embassy rules. Global Edge prepares files to checklists; it does not sell guaranteed visas or 100% admission.

## B. English tests

### Can I study in the UK without IELTS?
Yes, when English is proven another UKVI-accepted way — for example another SELT such as PTE Academic UKVI, a Higher Education Provider assessment recorded on the CAS at CEFR B2, or qualifying prior English-taught study (often with Ecctis). It does not mean skipping English proof.

### Can I study in Ireland without IELTS?
Often at admission if the university accepts PTE, TOEFL, Duolingo, or MOI — but the Ireland study visa has its own English rules. Follow Irish Immigration plus the college, using the stricter rule. Re-check ISD (“as of” date).

### What is an MOI certificate?
An MOI (medium of instruction) certificate is an official letter from a school/university confirming the language in which you were taught. It is not automatically a student-visa English test.

### Will MOI get a German student visa from India?
Treat MOI-only German visa files from India as high-refusal-risk and officially discouraged in Global Edge’s 2026 Germany guidance. APS and the mission’s current English rules still apply. Do not sell MOI as a shortcut.

## C. MBBS

### Is NEET required for MBBS abroad?
Yes, if you are an Indian or OCI student who wants to be eligible to licence in India. NMC treats the NEET-UG result as the eligibility certificate (with qualifying-exam marks). Qualifying NEET is not an All-India counselling rank.

### Does NMC approve universities abroad?
No. NMC does not publish an approved list of foreign medical colleges. Students must confirm the specific programme meets FMGL 2021 and check WDOMS.

### Can I practise in India after MBBS abroad?
Only after FMGL conditions, FMGE or NExT when that exam applies, Indian CRMI, and State Medical Council registration. Graduation abroad is not an Indian licence.

### Is Georgia visa-free or visa on arrival for an MD?
No. A six-year MD generally requires a D3 study visa and a residence permit. The e-visa is for short stays, not a degree.

### How much does MBBS abroad cost?
There is no single package. Hub planning bands (2026) run roughly from about ₹2.7 lakh/year (some Central Asian faculties) to ₹6.8 lakh or more (several Georgian MD tracks), with TSMU USMD about ₹11.5 lakh/year. Confirm the invoice.
