Affiliation
To cope with the increasing demand of the medical manpower, several other medical institutions were established by prominent personalities of Bengal during the British rule. In 1911, the government asked the private medical institutions in Calcutta to unite to form an efficient teaching institution and get it affiliated to Calcutta University. In 1914, The Calcutta Medical School and College of Physicians and Surgeons of Bengal authority came forward with a proposal to the government; the Secretary of the State agreed to the proposal with certain conditions.
The Calcutta University granted affiliation up to Preliminary Scientific M.B. Standard in 1916. The University granted affiliation up to First M.B. Standard and permitted for admission of 100 students in 1917. The college was granted affiliation up to Final M.B. Standard by the university in 1919. From then on, the institute was affiliated to the prestigious University of Calcutta until 2003 academic year.
From 2003, it is under the affiliation of the West Bengal University of Health Sciences, a recently created university by the Government of West Bengal.

Famous quotes containing the word affiliation:
“Women will not advance except by joining together in cooperative action.... Unlike other groups, women do not need to set affiliation and strength in opposition one against the other. We can readily integrate the two, search for more and better ways to use affiliation to enhance strength—and strength to enhance affiliation.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“Men seem more bound to the wheel of success than women do. That women are trained to get satisfaction from affiliation rather than achievement has tended to keep them from great achievement. But it has also freed them from unreasonable expectations about the satisfactions that professional achievement brings.”
—Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)
