BJ Medical College Ahmedabad history: from 1871 to today

The BJMC history page records that the college began in 1871 as the Ahmedabad Medical School. It started with 14 students training as hospital assistants. A Rs. 20,000 donation from Sir Byramjee Jeejeebhoy in 1879 gave it the name B. J. Medical School.

Note that 1879 was a renaming year, and 1946 was the year the school became a full college. The two are often mixed up.

Both parts need signatures from the student, the parents, two sureties and two witnesses.
