Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) today announced that the Union Government has granted permission to start a medical college in JMI. The news was announced by Vice Chancellor JMI Prof. Najma Akhtar.
“We have dentistry, physiotherapy, and first aid health centers, but a medical college has been missing in Jamia. As a VC, I have always requested a medical college for my students and faculty. We requested the government of India for the same, and now I am happy to announce that JMI has been granted permission to establish a medical college at the campus,” she announced at the ceremony.
Akhtar also announced that JMI aims to open an international campus in the Middle East soon.
The VC also talked about how JMI has secured a rank in the top 3 institutes in the NIRF Rankings for the second consecutive year. “In the past few years, Jamia has also gained positions in the international rankings,” she added.
The institute is hosting its Centenary Year Convocation today at Vigyan Bhawan. In the ceremony, around 12500 students will be awarded degrees and diplomas, including the ones who graduated in 2019 and 20202. The ceremony was held at Vigyan Bhawan.
Vice President of India, Jagdeep Dhankhar, was the Chief Guest of the ceremony. Minister of Education, Skill Development, and Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan too presided over the convocation.
