Nagpur City has the history of 300 years plus when it was the capital of  Gond Rajas Buland Shah Baksh.  Nagpur was one of the major centre with capital even  during British regime.  The present Mayo Hospital came into existence in 1862 and was known as “City Hospital”.  A medical school was started in 1914 in that hospital and was under Nagpur Education Board.  It was named after Mr.Robertson the then Joint Commissioner of Central Province.  School was conducting L.M.P. Diploma Course.  At that time there was no Medical College for higher studies and the students of Nagpur had to go out for Medical Education. Nagpur became the important centre for education by establishing Nagpur University in 1923.  C.P.Berar Government had made arrangement for higher medical education at G.S.(KEM) Medical College, Mumbai and Nil Ratan Sorcar Medical College, Calcutta.  This facility was available only for 10-12 students every year and many students could not make it.  Hence there was constant demand for independent Medical College in this region.

The first batch was admitted in July 1947.  The students were admitted from Nagpur as well as from Sagar University.  The selection criteria was merit in inter science grade and an interview.  With the starting of Medical College, threats was looming for closing down the LMP Course, the students of 1946 batch demonstrated on the road for 7 to 8 months under the leadership of Dr.Dubey, Dr.Tiwari and Dr.Rangilal.  Shri Ravi Shankar Shukla the then Chief Minister was convinced about the problem and the whole batch was transferred to GMC in 1947.

This batch was allowed to appear 6 months earlier to those who were admitted in 1947 directly to GMC.  Out of them only seven students passed in the final examination and they became the first medical graduates of this institute.

An entrance examination was started in 1952, and very next year, it was abandoned.  The degree course was of five years without an internship.  It was divided in two years in Anatomy and Physiology, two years in Pathology, Pharmacology and Forensic Medicine, while the final year had medicine, Surgery, Opthalmology and gynaecology.
The college got MCI recognisition in 1952.  The internship was started from 1953 batch and it was 9 months in District Hospital and 9 months in village dispensaries.
