History

On 13 July 1907, the decision was made to build a hospital in Burdwan (a small town). On 9 November 1910, the Frazer Hospital was inaugurated with 127 indoor beds. In 1921, this hospital was converted into a medical school and named Ronaldshay Medical School. Later, the proposal of renaming the medical college was again put forward, and then the chief minister of West Bengal, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, agreed to the proposal. [5]

Finally, in 1969, this college was renamed as Burdwan University Medical College and was affiliated to Burdwan University. The honorable health minister of that time, the Late Nani Bhattacharya, laid the foundation stone of this new college. This college actually started its journey from a primary school building. The first batch of this college suffered tremendously because of the inadequate infrastructure and shifted to different medical colleges in Kolkata. The second batch of this college, enrolled in 1970, remained at Burdwan and completed their MBBS. However, the second batch took almost eight years to complete their degree. So, the official first batch of students, unofficially the second batch, came out as doctors only in 1978. 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.

Courses and admission

Burdwan Medical College and Hospital undertakes the education and training of students in MBBS & postgraduate courses. The yearly undergraduate student intake is 200 from the year 2019. Presently, other than medical undergraduates, the institution is also the knowledge hub for nearly 186 post-graduates and 3 super-specialties per batch.

This college is affiliated to West Bengal University of Health Sciences and is recognised by the National Medical Commission. [6] The selection to the college is done on the basis of merit through National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET-UG).
