Dr SCG Chuckerbutty is claimed to be the first Indian medical graduate to join the Indian Medical Service in 1855.

India’s first MBBS education was of three years, unlike today, of 4.5 years with one year of mandatory internships. In the first year of the course, Indian students were taught lessons on Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacology. In the second and third years, medical students were taught Medicine and Surgery. Students also have to devote time to the hospitals, the general hospital, the Company’s dispensary, the eye infirmary and the department of the superintendent of vaccination for clinical teaching.
