MEDICAL COLLEGE, KOLKATA

About

The British East India Company established the Indian Medical Service (IMS) in the year 1764 to look after Europeans in British India. On 9 May, 1822 the British Government laid down a plan to fill the position of native doctors in the civil and military establishments of the Presidency of Bengal. For the said purpose and imparting the medical teaching in local language , on 21st June, 1822 they founded “The Native Medical Institution “. In 1833 William Bentinck committee recommended a requirement of a medical college ‘for the education of the natives’. Consequently a new medical college , known as the Medical College Kolkata was established on 28th January, 1835. Its purpose was to train native youths irrespective of caste and creed. The admission of the students were started on 20 February 1835. Out of about one hundred applicants, only twenty students were selected through a preliminary examination. Students had to sit for final examination on completion of the course and “President of the Committee of education certificates” were being awarded to the successful candidates for practicing surgery and medicine.
