Founder President - Dr. D. Y. PatilDear Students,

Our country spiritually, culturally and historically has occupied a prominent position in the global evolution. We are the pioneers in health sciences, basic sciences, literature, art and architecture . Our culture is unique having unity in diversity. However, over the past few decades, a sort of stagnation has crept in our systems and the sub-continent, which was once a leader regressed into a developing country. I have given a deep thought to this situation , and by the grace of God Almighty, Sant Gajanan Maharaj - Shegaon and Shri Satya Sai Baba , I was shown the light that the only path towards socio-economic and ethical transformation of our country is through quality education in all branches of learning from kindergarten to post graduation, from training to research and from research to extension activities. Imbued with this mission, we established academic complexes in Pune, Kolhapur and Navi Mumbai. I am specially satisfied about the fascinating development of our Mumbai and Pune academic complexes wherein, over the past two decades, we have established over 60 quality institutions of global standard in Engineering Medicine, Dentistry and other Health Sciences, Pharmacy, Hotel Management , colleges in faculties of Arts , Science, Commerce and Computer Sciences and schools.

A steady and focused approach to our mission has culminated in the establishment of D.Y.Patil Education Society, Kolhapur which has been recently recognized by Government of India and UGC as a "Deemed to be University". Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre is the premier constituent college of the Deemed University. It has world class infrastructure and faculty. Medical Council of India has recognized this college and also permitted it to conduct post-graduate courses. You are one of the many youths of our country who are aspiring to seek admission to the MBBS course of our University and to realize the dream of becoming one of the best medicos, dedicated to alleviation of sufferings of the humanity.

I extend a warm welcome to you and wish that, through hard work and dedication, you will emerge successful in the All India Entrance Test, so that you become one of the bright medical students of our University,

May God bless you in all your endeavors. I wish you a brilliant medical career.

Yours sincerely,


Dr. D. Y. Patil
