Contents

The university has about 1250 undergraduate students (including 280 dental students) and 450 postgraduate students. [3]

About 250 students a year are admitted to the four-and-a-half-year course of study for the degree of M.B.B.S. [4]

History

King George V, then the Prince of Wales, laid the foundation stone of King George's Medical College in 1906. The college opened its gates in 1911, though the official opening ceremony was delayed to January 1912. The college was directly under the Government of the United Provinces, and degrees were awarded through Allahabad University. In 1921, the college was transferred to Lucknow University. [5]

In 2002 the Government of Uttar Pradesh, led by Mayawati of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), granted university status the college and renamed it Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University (CSMMU), under the Uttar Pradesh Chhatrapati Shahuji Medical University Act, 2002. [6] In August 2003 Mulayam Singh Yadav of the Samajwadi Party (SP) replaced Mayawati and became Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. Two months later, in October 2003, the name of the university was changed to King George's Medical University (KGMU) [5] by the Uttar Pradesh Chhartrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University (Second Amendment) Act, 2003. [7]

Name-changing continued. In 2007, after the BSP won the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election and Mayawati returned to office, the name of the institution reverted to CSMMU. When control returned to the SP in the 2012 election, Akhilesh Yadav's government returned the name of the university the current "King George Medical University". [8]

Similar changes occurred for the dental faculty. The faculty was established in 1949 as a section of the ENT department; [9] raised to a separate department in 1950, it moved to a new building in 1952. [5] When the university was established in 2002, the dental department became the Dental College, a constituent college of the university. [9] Two years later, under the Uttar Pradesh King George's University of Dental Science Act, 2004, the Dental College was raised to the status of a state university [10] named the "U.P. King George’s University of Dental Science". [11] In 2007, the government reverted this decision and the U.P. King George's University of Dental Science again became simply a Faculty of Dental Sciences, as it was at the establishment of the university. [9]

After getting university status, it also worked as an affilating university till academic year 2021-2022 when colleges affiliated to the university were taken over by newly established Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University.
