History and Timeline
Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute had its humble beginning in April 2001, when the first batch of MBBS students was admitted. Since then, 17 years have passed by and presently we have begun the course for the 18th batch of students. We are happy to announce that the Medical council of India, based on the standards set and the infrastructure provided, has increased the intake of MBBS students to 250 with effect from 2014.
The Institution is run by Sri Balaji Educational & charitable public trust (SBECPT). The trust started ‘Kasturba Gandhi Nursing College (KGNC)’ in 2003, the ‘Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences (IGIDS)’ in 2006 and the ‘Shri Sathya Sai Medical College and Research Institute’ at Kancheepuram District in 2008. Given the high standards set by all our institutions, the University Grants Commission granted a Deemed to be University status and the Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth was formed as a Health Sciences University in 2008. The first batch of students under Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth passed out in December 2012. Faculty of Allied Health Sciences Courses commenced in 2015. Since its formation, the University and the constituent colleges have made substantial strides in education, services, and research.
In 2007, MGMCRI started postgraduate courses in clinical specialties and subsequently in 2008-2009 in the pre and para clinical specialties. With the growth in facilities, the numbers of admissions to postgraduate courses have also increased from year to year.
