Burdwan Medical College, Burdwan Complete MBBS Admission Guide

Today’s Burdwan Medical College was established as ‘Burdwan University Medical College’ by the University of Burdwan in 1969. It was a humble beginning in a hollow brick building (Primary school). Foundation was laid down by the then Honourable Health Minister Late Nani Bhattacharyaa. Later it was taken over by the Government of West Bengal on 4 August 1976, and renamed as Burdwan Medical College. But the College remained as the sole Medical College under the academic jurisdiction of Burdwan University until it was taken up by the West Bengal University of Health Sciences in 2003. First batch of medical students comprising of 50 students, though joined in 1969, had been shifted to different Medical Colleges of Kolkata due to inadequacy of infrastructure of running MBBS course. The development process was geared up to fulfill the requirements of the medical education. The next batch of students joined in 1970 and remained at Burdwan to complete their MBBS from this brand new Medical Institution of West Bengal. However, it took eight long years for the first batch to complete their MBBS degree from the College. So, the official first batch came out as doctors only in 1978! Their MBBS degree was granted by the MCI was included as recognized Medical qualification. Interestingly, in the later years many of these batches of students sprouted out as great clinicians or academicians and gradually became stalwarts in their fields.
