What Dhaka National Medical College does

Dhaka National Medical College (DNMC) is a private medical education institution headquartered at 53/1, Johnson Road, Dhaka-1100, Bangladesh. It operates two undergraduate degree programs: a five-year MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) — currently in its 32nd batch for the 2025-2026 session — and a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program delivered through a Dental Unit, currently in its 11th batch. Teaching is organized across 23 clinical and pre-clinical departments spanning pre-clinical sciences through super-specialties, including anatomy, microbiology, cardiology, dermatology, dental pharmacology, and surgery. Clinical training is delivered through an affiliated teaching hospital, Dhaka National Medical Institute Hospital, which provides hands-on rotations in multiple medical and surgical specialties. MBBS and BDS degrees are conferred by Dhaka University, and both programs are recognized by the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC) with admissions channeled through the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) under merit-based quotas.

The college generates revenue primarily through tuition fees (disclosed separately in USD for foreign students but not publicly disclosed for domestic students) and ancillary clinical services via the affiliated hospital. Its operating model is structured around an institutional governance framework comprising a Management Committee, Academic Council, and Sub Committees, with senior academic leadership led by a Principal who also heads the Biochemistry department. Supporting infrastructure includes a college library, laboratories, lecture halls, seminar rooms, clinical laboratories, hostel accommodation, and digital portals (Student Portal, Employee Portal, Admin Portal, and a Student Attendance System), along with a bi-annual peer-reviewed Journal of Dhaka National Medical College. Marketing is conducted through the official website and an active Facebook page, while admissions are governed centrally by DGHS quota categories including general, freedom fighter, and poor & meritorious quotas.
