North Bengal Medical College was originally envisioned by Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, Ex-Chief Minister of West Bengal. North Bengal University Medical College (NBUMC), now known as North Bengal Medical College (NBMC) came up on paper (not on ground) by the act of an advertisement in the Anandabazar Patrika in August 1967 for admission to first Premedical course of this institute by North Bengal University (NBU). Premedical course was abolished after 1976. In 2004, the institute achieved the milestone to be reckoned as the Post-graduate institute with introduction of MD/MS courses in five disciplines like Anatomy, Physiology, Community Medicine, Pathology and Anesthesiology after a worth full endeavor of Prof. Sangita Bhattacharya, the then Principal, Prof. Samar Deb, ex-HOD and Vice Principal, Prof. Sankar Prasad Kabiraj, Professor of Radiodiagnosis, Late Prof. Raghunath Pramanik, Professor of Pathology and Dr. Krishna Kinkar Mondol, a devoted teacher of this institute
