MAHATMA GANDHI UNIVERSITY OF MEDICAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY, JAIPUR Summary
Mahatma Gandhi University of Medical Sciences and Technology is a specialist health-sciences university in Jaipur, Rajasthan. It was formally established in 2011 under Rajasthan legislation and is sponsored by the India Education Trust. Its development is closely tied to the Mahatma Gandhi healthcare and education complex at Sitapura, whose modern institutional journey began with the trust's registration in 1999 and the opening of Mahatma Gandhi Hospital in 2000. The university's academic identity is centered on medicine, dentistry, nursing, occupational therapy, allied health sciences, hospital administration and health informatics. Mahatma Gandhi Medical College was established in 2001, followed by dental and nursing institutions in 2003. These units created the clinical and teaching foundation that was later brought together under university status. The campus combines university teaching with substantial hospital-based learning, clinical exposure and patient-care infrastructure. After becoming a university, the institution continued to diversify. Occupational therapy was added in 2014, Shri Ram Cancer and Super Speciality Centre opened in 2017, hospital administration and health informatics units followed in 2019, and an allied-health institute was established in 2022. This progression has produced a university in which education, healthcare delivery, clinical training and research operate within the same Jaipur ecosystem. 24 May 1999 — India Education Trust was registered in Jaipur as the sponsoring charitable trust.
