The UCMS-GTB Saga: Delhi Medical College looks for relocation
New Delhi: The University College of Medical Sciences is likely to be relocated as it has requested the Delhi University for allotment of land to construct its own college and hospital building.
As of now, the University College of Medical Sciences (UCMS), which is affiliated with Delhi University, shares the campus with Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital in East Delhi's Dilshad Garden.
Due to limited space on the campus, the college has requested the DU to allot 40 to 50 acres to construct the college and hospital building along with other required infrastructure. The proposal will be tabled before the Executive Council of the university on December 15.

''The limited space at the Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital campus is hampering the ambitious expansion of the college, preventing it from taking the college to the next level of excellence,'' the proposal read.
The university has not been able to increase the medical college's undergraduate student intake capacity to 250 and is restricted to 170 because of the crammed condition, it said.
