Nilratan Sircar Medical College Kolkata at a glance

The table brings together the official facts a family needs first. For a shorter profile of the college, see our NRS Medical College Kolkata college page.

History of Nilratan Sircar Medical College Kolkata

The college grew out of a Bengali-language section of Medical College, Bengal. According to the NRS Medical College history page, that section moved to Sealdah Municipal Hospital. Sealdah Medical School opened there on 1 December 1873. The name Nilratan Sircar came much later, in 1950.

Sir Nilratan Sircar (1861 to 1943) was a physician, educationist and freedom-movement figure. He was knighted in 1918 and was one of the founders of the Indian Medical Association. The NMC record gives 1948 as the college's year of inception, the year it became a college.

Is Nilratan Sircar Medical College recognised by NMC?

Yes. The NMC college and course search lists Nilratan Sircar Medical College as a government college with 250 MBBS seats. Its record reads: recognised for 150 seats, permitted to increase from 150 to 250, and annual renewal permitted for 250 seats for 2024-25 and 2025-26.

In plain words, the MBBS degree is a recognised Indian medical qualification. Graduates can register with a State Medical Council and practise in India. The college's own admission page carries the same seat history, including the Government of India letter of 20 November 2017 on the rise to 250 seats.

MBBS seat matrix at NRS Medical College Kolkata 2026

A seat matrix is the official count of seats by quota and category. NRS Medical College's 250 seats split between two quotas. The college admission page describes the split as 15 per cent All India Quota and 85 per cent state quota.

The West Bengal Round 1 seat matrix 2026 lists 213 state quota MBBS seats at the college. By category, they break down as follows.

The other 37 seats form the All India Quota. Any NEET qualified candidate from any state can compete for them through MCC. Our web story on All India Quota vs state quota MBBS seats explains the difference in a few slides.

One change stands out. In 2025, the West Bengal state quota at NRS Medical College had separate OBC-A and OBC-B lists, with 35 OBC seats between them. In 2026 the matrix shows a single OBC category with 14 seats, and 111 unreserved seats.

NRS Medical College Kolkata cutoff: All India Quota closing ranks

A closing rank is the NEET All India Rank of the last candidate given a seat in that round. The table shows the last MBBS allotment at NRS Medical College in each MCC round, taken from the official MCC allotment results.

Two patterns matter. First, ranks move down in later rounds as students upgrade to other colleges. The 2025 open closing rank went from 5,524 in Round 1 to 10,755 in Round 3. Second, 2026 has run tighter than 2025 so far. The 2026 Round 1 open closing rank of 4,818 was about 700 places better than in 2025.
