• Director Suman Chakraborty said the first cohort would number 10–20 students, with some reports specifying 20 seats.
• Classroom instruction is slated at Dr B C Roy Medical College with newly appointed medical faculty, and clinical training will take place at the adjacent Syama Prasad Mookerjee Institute of Medical Sciences & Research.
