In 1924, the institute was started as a Government Indian Medical School and in 1948, the Medical School was renamed Indian College of Medicine and the G.C.I.M degree (Graduate of the College of Indigenous Medicine) was confirmed in its graduates. Subsequently the term Indigenous was replaced by Integrated, indicating that candidates had been trained in the GCIM course for Indigenous and advanced medicine.
