The campus of Veer Surendra Sai Medical College & Hospital is situated in Sambalpur, Odisha, about 330 kilometres northwest of the state capital Bhubaneswar.

Initially, the Medical Council of India (MCI) refused to recognize BMC, citing gross infrastructural inadequacy.

The college offers the four-and-a-half-year MBBS course with a one-year compulsory rotating internship in affiliated hospitals to a maximum of 200 students per year.

A large number of students gather for a four-day extravaganza and participate in various cultural, dramatic, literary and sports competitions.

"PRAYAS" is a non-profit organization formed by the students which strives to provide proper medical treatment to financially challenged persons by providing free medicines and also to create a large pool of donors to counter the perennial shortage of blood units in the hospital's blood bank.
