GOVERNMENT MEDICAL COLLEGE HANDWARA
Government Medical College, Handwara is a secondary referral government medical college situated in Handwara, Jammu and Kashmir, India. Established in 2023, it is affiliated with the University of Kashmir and recognized by the National Medical Commission. The associated hospital is one of the largest in the Kupwara district. Admission to the college is based on merit determined through the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET), with an annual undergraduate intake of 100 students since 2023. The college offers MBBS courses, and in September 2025 it was allotted 24 Diplomate of National Board (DNB) seats across departments including Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, Pathology, Pharmacology, Social and Preventive Medicine, and Anaesthesia. The institution's establishment was approved by the Government of India in 2019 under a centrally sponsored scheme for new medical colleges, at an estimated cost of ₹325 crore. Its foundation stone was laid by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on 24 October 2021. The National Medical Commission granted the Letter of Permission on 24 March 2023, enabling the first MBBS batch to begin that year. Construction and full operationalization have faced delays due to floods and logistical challenges, with completion targets extended to 2026–2027.
