Noakhali Medical College

[1] The college was established in 2008, and renamed in October 2024 as part of a nationwide effort to remove individual names from medical schools and to reference their communities instead.

In the year 1978-79 Bangladesh government planned to establish medical colleges at Bogra, Comilla, Dinajpur, Faridpur, Kushtia, Khulna, Noakhali and Pabna with a view to improve the healthcare services in the country.

Accordingly, the government committed to establish two new medical colleges at Noakhali and Cox's Bazar with annual intakes of 50 students at each.

NMC is under DGHS and curriculum by BMDC (Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council).

The test comprises a written MCQ exam, which is held simultaneously in all government medical colleges on the same day throughout the country.

Candidates are selected for admission based on national merit and district, whether they are sons or daughters of freedom fighters, and to fill tribal quotas.
