Overview | Medical College, Kolkata

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 the local language, on 21st June 1822 they founded “The Native Medical Institution “. In 1833 William Bentinck's 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 was 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. They were eligible to apply for public service as “Native Doctors”.The year 1836 was a landmark in the history of Indian medical teaching when the first dissection of a human corpse was conducted by Madhusudan Gupta, a student of the first batch. On the 10th of January and this day now is observed as Medical Education Day in West Bengal. Other renowned students of the first batch were Umacharan Seth, Rajkrishna De, Dwarakanath Gupta, and Nabin Chandra Mitra. The first batch of students passed the final examination held on 30 October 1838. They were then eligible to practice medicine and surgery.
