Mr. Chandrashekhar, ex-Prime Minister of India was also operated upon in this medical college. Dr. Dukhan Ram, our ex-Principal and an eminent ophthalmologist was the honorary surgeon to Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the First President of India. Initially, there used to be 35 admissions per year which was increased to 170 but at present 200 students are admitted in each batch on the basis of competitive tests.
