Start Your Medical College Franchise in 2026
India needs 1 lakh more doctors — medical education is the most prestigious and impactful education investment
About Medical College Franchise — Complete Guide 2026
Starting an MBBS medical college is the most prestigious and highest-investment education project in India. Regulated by the National Medical Commission (NMC, formerly MCI), medical colleges require a minimum 300-bed attached hospital, 25 acres of land, a massive teaching faculty, and an investment of ₹5 crore and above. The NMC approval process is among the most rigorous regulatory processes in any sector. However, for those with the capital, land, and hospital infrastructure — or those acquiring an existing medical institution — the reward is extraordinary: annual revenue of ₹5 crore and above, extraordinary social impact, and a generational institutional asset. Bivha provides advisory support for medical college setup, including NMC regulation navigation, infrastructure planning guidance, faculty profile planning, and hospital upgrade support. This is a comprehensive, multi-year support engagement tailored to the unique scale of medical college projects.
Given the complexity and scale, Bivha provides customized medical college setup support — including NMC regulation briefings, DCI (dental colleges) guidance, hospital affiliation requirements, and liaison with state health authorities. Each medical college project is unique and Bivha provides dedicated expert support throughout the multi-year process.
