It is affiliated with the Srimanta Sankaradeva University of Health Sciences and is strictly regulated by the National Medical Commission (NMC).

The academic environment is rigorous, supported by a central library housing thousands of medical texts, journals, and digital resources. The faculty consists of highly qualified professionals dedicated to fostering both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Beyond academics, the college encourages research and community-oriented health programs, preparing students to meet global healthcare standards while remaining rooted in social responsibility.
