Ludhiana's ESIC medical college with 50 MBBS seats to begin admissions this academic year
Ludhiana- In a major step to boost healthcare and medical education in Ludhiana, the Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) Hospital is soon going to start an ESI Medical College from this session.
As per the Tribune report, the college is expected to start from August-September of the 2025-26 session.
ESI Medical College will admit a total of 50 students in the first batch, as per the guidelines of the National Medical Commission (NMC),
The counselling of students will begin in the coming two weeks
The ESI Medical College will be the first medical college and hospital built by the central government in Ludhiana. Currently, only Patiala, Amritsar and Faridkot of Punjab has the state government medical colleges.
Meanwhile, the hospital has currently completed other projects, including setting up a laboratory, lecture hall, classrooms etc for medical students admitted this session. To provide a permanent location for the college campus and hostel, ESIC officials are in touch with the district administration to provide land and a piece of land on Jalandhar bypass was shown but since the land was disputed, it could not be finalised as it did not fulfil the NMC norms either.
