Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Manipal was established on June 30, 1953, by late Dr. T. M. A. Pai.
The late Dr. Tonse Madhava Anantha Pai (1898-1979), physician, educationist, banker and philanthropist, was the founder and builder of modern Manipal. He established educational, medical, banking and industrial enterprises of national importance and repute.
The Kasturba Medical College started with only the pre-clinical section at Manipal as the students had to go to Mangalore for their clinical training. In 1969, when the clinical programme started in Manipal, KMC became a full-fledged independent college.
Kasturba Medical College is the first college in the private sector and ranks among the top five medical colleges in the country today. Students from 44 countries have graduated from the college, and its degrees are recognized worldwide.
With the first graduating class of students in 1958, KMC was granted recognition by the Medical Council of India. Recognition by the General Medical Council of Great Britain and the Malaysian Medical Council soon followed. Today, Manipal University (of which KMC is a constituent college) degrees are recognized in all countries. The physical facilities for research work and student amenities have been steadily developed over the years. The 200-acre campus provides one of the finest environments for study in south Asia.
Kasturba Medical College is one of the few colleges in the country that comes to mind the moment a student desires to pursue medical education. It is the flagship college of Manipal University. It has over the 56 years of its existence developed into an incomparable college. The foremost significant feature of the college is the quality of education that is imparted here. Its one of a kind infrastructure supports the students in honing their skills and become outstanding doctors.
Each branch is as important as the other and every branch has its own charm. KMS understands that the faculty, labs and the classrooms are of utmost importance to medical students. The clinical experience that can be gained here is unlikely anywhere else. KMC has all of that, and, all in a class of its own.
