The facility provides all necessary infrastructure and resources to support medical education and clinical training.
The institution was established in 2006 as the first private medical college in West Bengal, built on the grounds of Dr. K. S. Ray TB Hospital. This marked a turning point in the region's medical education landscape, which had been dominated by public institutions.
The institution maintains academic departments in General Medicine, Pediatrics, and Surgery while promoting student participation in health camps and community programs.
Prospective students must clear the national entrance examination, with the campus offering 150 seats for medical studies. Visitors should note that this is an active academic and hospital setting where access to certain areas may be limited.
The facility emerged from a public-private partnership and later transitioned to a fully private operational model under the KPC Charitable Trust. This shift reflects how medical education models evolved in the region over time.
