JIPMER, Pondicherry

JIPMER traces its origin to 1823 when a medical school called "Ecole de Medicine de Pondichery" was established by French government. In November 1956 the Government of India took over the medical college in the wake of the 'de facto' transfer of Pondicherry. The college was upgraded as a Regional Centre and named as Jawaharlal Institute of Post-graduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) on 13th July 1964.

JIPMER which includes a tertiary care referral hospital is under the direct administrative control of Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Three main functions of this institute are, to impart quality education in Under-graduate and Post-graduate medical and paramedical courses; to set trends in medical research and to offer patient care of high order.

The staff strength of the institute is about 3000. The teaching faculty consists of 154 experienced teachers and 361 resident doctors. The total budget provision for the year 1998-99 was Rs.4167 lakhs, both under plan and non-plan. The budgetary allocation for 1999-2000 is Rs.4660 lakhs.

The institute is affiliated to Pondicherry University and conducts a number of medical and paramedical courses. Admission to the courses are made on all India basis and strictly on the basis of merit through entrance examinations.

The institute is also active in research in various fields of modern medicine & health and medical education.
