Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education
and Research originated as École de Médicine de Pondichérry established by the
French Government in the year 1823.
This medical school was converted into Dhanvantari
Medical College at the time of de facto transfer of Pondicherry to Government
of India.
This Medical College was later upgraded into Jawaharlal
Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER).
JIPMER traces its origin to 1823 when a
medical school called "Ecole de Medicine de Pondichery" was
established by French government. In November 1956 the Government of India took
over the medical college in the wake of the ‘de facto’ transfer of Pondicherry.
The college was upgraded as a Regional Centre and named as Jawaharlal Institute
of Post-graduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) on 13th July 1964.
JIPMER campus is located in the western entrance of Pondicherry on the highway and spread over 195 acres of sloping land that is a hillock, known in vernacular as ‘Gorimedu’. The campus is self sufficient in many ways and contains well laid roads, green trees & plants apart from Post-Office, Bank, Shopping centre, Hostels, and Residential complex.
