Latest Updates for Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research
The NTA has scheduled the NEET 2025 exam for May 4, 2025.
The Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education & Research (IPGMER), formerly known as SSKM Hospital, was originally established in 1707 as a small hospital for Europeans in Calcutta, called Presidency Hospital. It later expanded and became Presidency General Hospital in 1770, admitting non-European patients. In 1957, it was renamed IPGMER and inaugurated by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, becoming the first postgraduate medical institute in Eastern India. The institute has evolved into a center of excellence for undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral medical education, along with paramedical and nursing courses. Over the years, IPGMER added facilities like the Bangur Institute of Neurosciences, Cardiovascular Sciences, Neonatal Department, Human Milk Bank, and School of Digestive and Liver Diseases. It now serves as a multi-superspecialty hospital and a hub for advanced medical research.
