The present building was there before the Partition of Bengal of 1905. The building was first used, in 1904, as the secretariat (headquarters) of the newly formed provinces of East Bengal and Assam. During this period bureaucrats, not doctors, used to roam its busy corridors. In 1921, when the University of Dhaka began its journey, the building was handed over to the University administration. At that time a part of this huge building was used as the Universitys Medical Center, another part as the students dormitory and the rest as the administrative wing of the Arts faculty. In 1939, the Dhaka University Council requested that the British Government establishes a medical college in Dhaka. The proposal was postponed due to the Second World War, During World War II it became an American Armed Forces hospital. The Americans left at the end of the war, but the hospital remained. Dhaka Medical College was established in 1946 and the college began admitting students. Academic class started on July 10 which is celebrated as DMC DAY. The 1st year was named K-5, 2nd year K-4, 3rd year K-3, 4th year K-2, and 5th year K-1. All the students except K-5 had transferred from the Calcutta Medical College. The main reason behind this was the partition of 1947. At first there were no female students but now about half of the students are females. Over time, the original 100 bed hospital has grown to become Bangladeshs largest hospital. After adding 500 beds on October 3, 2013, DMCH is now a 2300 bed hospital. The new beds were added in a new building known as DMCH-2. The Medinine (Medical Center) is gradually being shifted to the new building, DMCH-2, which will open with a bone marrow transplantation facility very soon. Major W J Virgin, the head of the committee formed to establish the Dhaka Medical College, was the first principal. At the beginning there were only four departments – Medical, Surgery, Gynecology and Otolaryngology (ENT). Since the college did not haveat first, a Anatomy nor a Physiology department the students attended those classes at Mitford Medical School(now the Sir Salimullah Medical College). After a month, Professor of Anatomy Pashupati Basuand and Professor of Physiology Hiralal Saha joined the staff and the classes began in ward number 22 of the hospital. There was no lecture hall or dissection gallery at this time. These needs were met after the foundation of the college building in 1955. The institute did not have any student housing. Male students were allowed to reside in the Dhaka Universitys student halls, but girls had to live at home. The college and hospital premises were expanded with temporary sheds, some of which were built for outdoor services of the hospital and some for student housing. New buildings for housing, college and hospital were constructed in phases: a dormitory for girls in 1952, a dormitory for male students in 1954–55, a new complex of academic buildings in 1955, and a dormitory for internee doctors in 1974–75. A new academic and hospital building, Dhaka Medical College Hospital-2 (DMCH-2), was inaugurated by Prime Minister Shiekh Hasina on October 3, 2013. Entrance examination[edit] Every year, after passing the Higher School Certificate, nearly 65,000 (sixty five thousand) applicants from all over the country sit for the medical college entrance examination. The top 200 students get the opportunity to study at the Dhaka Medical College.

Dhaka Medical College dormitory (known as Barrack) was at the heart of the language movement from 1948 to 1952. Barrack was formerly situated at Central Shaheed Minar current location. There were about 20 tin shed barracks where the medical students resided. Being close to the Parliament of East Pakistan (presently Jagannath Hall of Dhaka University). For strategic reasons the medical dormitory was chosen as the center of the student movement. In the early hours of February 21, 1952, all the students of Dhaka Medical College gathered in front of the medical college dormitory. In the afternoon the group headed for the parliament which was in session. No procession was allowed due to Section 144. The students decided to break Section 144 at 4:00 PM at the historical Aam-tola (which was situated beside the present day Emergency gate). The police fired at the procession, resulting in the deaths of Salam, Barkat, Rafique, Jabbar and Shafiur. After sundown on February 21st, at the site of the deaths, the students of Dhaka Medical College decided to build a monument. They worked continuously on the 22nd and 23rd of February and finished the construction, using bricks, gravel and cement reserved for the hospital. The students of DMC played a vital role in the student and mainstream politics of the 60s as well. When the military government of Ayub Khan started torturing opposing political leaders, the central student leaders took refuge in the Bakshibazar student dormitory. Most of the meetings deciding the upcoming line of action were held on the college campus. During the movement protesting the martial law and the Hamidur Rahman Education Commission, DMC and its dormitories were the only safe refuge for the student leaders. Many students of this institution actively participated. On January 20, 1969, police charged and fired into a procession of students near the present emergency gate. Student leader Asaduzzaman was severely injured. He was admitted to the hospital but died in ward number 8 before any treatment was possible. The students of the medical college led a procession with the blood stained shirt of Shaheed Asad.

On March 2, 1971, the doctors of DMCH raised it at the peak of present Doctors Cafeteria. Dhaka Medical College had also made its mark in the mass uprising of the 90s. The doctors actively participated in the movement protesting the anti-health policy of the government of that time under the banner of BMA.[1] Liberation War, 1971[edit] Students, nurse, staff and doctors who had passed from DMC played a major role in the war of independence.
