JIPMER

CITY: Puducherry

JIPMER traces its origin to 1823 when a medical school called Ecole de Medicine de Pondichery was established by the French. 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 renamed Jawaharlal Institute of Post-graduate Medical Education and Research on July 13, 1964. It now has about 3,000 students, 300 experienced teachers and 565 resident doctors.
