King George's Medical University, is a medical school, hospital and medical university located in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. The medical school was upgraded into a medical university by an act passed by government of Uttar Pradesh on 16 September 2002.

The University has capacity for 1250 undergraduates students (including 280 dental students) and 450 postgraduate students.^[4]

The MBBS course takes four and a half years to complete and has an intake of 250 students each year.^[5]

History[]

The foundation stone for King George's Medical College was laid in 1906 by King George V, then the Prince of Wales. The college opened its gates in 1911, though the official opening ceremony was delayed to January 1912. The college was directly under the Government of the United Provinces and degrees were awarded through Allahabad University. In 1921 the college was transferred to Lucknow University.^[6]

In 2002 the Government of Uttar Pradesh, led by Mayawati of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), granted university status the college and renamed it to Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University (CSMMU) through the Uttar Pradesh Chhatrapati Shahuji Medical University Act, 2002.^[7] In August 2003 Mulayam Singh Yadav of the Samajwadi Party (SP) replaced Mayawati and became Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. Soon after, in October 2003, the university was renamed back to King George's Medical University (KGMU)^[6] by the Uttar Pradesh Chhartrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University (Second Amendment) Act, 2003.^[8] The name changing was to repeat. In 2007, after the BSP won the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election and Mayawati rose back to power, the institute was renamed to CSMMU. When power turned back to the SP in the 2012 election, the institute was reverted once more to its current name by the Akhilesh Yadav government.^[9]

Similar changes occurred with the dental faculty. The faculty was established in 1949 as a section of the ENT department,^[10] and then converted into a separate department in 1950 and moved to a new building in 1952.^[6] In 2002 when the university was established, it became the Dental College, a constituent college of the university.^[10] In 2004 it was upgraded to a state university^[11] called "U.P. King George’s University of Dental Science" through the Uttar Pradesh King George's University of Dental Science Act, 2004.^[12] In 2007, the government reverted this decision and the U.P. King George's University of Dental Science again became the Faculty of Dental Sciences as it was at the establishment of the University.^[10]
