Ahmedabad Medical School was created in 1871 and it became affiliated with the Civil
Hospital in the city of Ahmedabad. The School had humble beginnings, starting with
14 students who pursued hospital assistant training.
In 1879, Sir Byramjee Jeejeebhoy donated Rs.20.000/- and the school was renamed
after him, B.J. Medical School. The school grew and became affiliated with the College
of Physicians and Surgeons of Bombay in 1917. By 1946, the school obtained affiliation
with Bombay University and then achieved higher status for itself to become B.J.
Medical College, providing diplomas for L.C.P.S.
In 1951, the Gujarat University took over the school, which today flourishes with
other allied medical and paramedical institutions, including: M&J Institute of Ophthalmology,
M.P. Shah Cancer Research Institute, TB Demonstration and Training Center, Institute
of Kidney Diseases and Research Center, Institute of Cardiology and many other special

M.Ch in four branches, postgraduate diploma courses in 10 branches, and many other
