Overview

Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute was established by Sri Ramachandra Educational and Health Trust in the year 1985 as a private not-for-profit self-financing institution committed to serve the society as a centre of excellence with emphasis on medical education, research and health care. The Trust established the institution as a “Centre of Excellence” under the leadership of Late Shri. N.P.V. Ramasamy Udayar, founder-managing trustee of the Trust and also the first chancellor of the deemed university.

The institute was recognised as a deemed university by the Government of India in September, 1994 under Section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956. As notified by the UGC, the nomenclature of the institution was changed to Sri Ramachandra University in 2006 and reverted to SRMC&RI (DU) from December, 2017. Eventually, as per the notification (dated 08.08.2018) by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India, it was rechristened to “Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (Deemed to be University)”.

Over the years, the institute has metamorphosed into a full-fledged Deemed University with twelve faculties/constituent colleges that presently offer 150 UG and PG programmes in healthcare sciences to 6,500 students with a faculty: student ratio 1:7.
