Narowal Medical College

Overview

Narowal Medical College is a public medical institution in Narowal, Punjab. It admits MBBS students through the UHS-MDCAT route.

History & background

Narowal Medical College is a public-sector college whose establishment took a stop-gap route: an MoU was signed with the University of Narowal in September 2023 to use its old campus temporarily, with Rs165 million sanctioned in December 2023 for renovation, ahead of a formal groundbreaking. Sources give conflicting founding dates, so the exact establishment year is not fully settled in public reporting; this is distinct from the privately-run Sahara Medical College also located in Narowal.

Location

Narowal is a district town in northeastern Punjab near the border with Indian Punjab, historically an agricultural market town that has more recently seen expanded public infrastructure investment including its own university and medical college.
