Selection to the college is done on the basis of merit through the [[National Eligibility and Entrance Test]]. Yearly undergraduate student intake is 100 & the first session will commence from '''2021'''. All the necessary staff, faculties and doctors have already been appointed by the Odisha Govt under DMET. The Director of Medical Education and Training '''Prof. Dr. C.B.K. Mohanty''' has recently inspected the newly established medical college and stated that all the necessary work related to infrastructure and administration is almost done. SJMCH at Puri has been built at a cost of around '''300 crores''' on an area of 33 acres, and it is the eighth government medical college in the state.

As the college becomes functional, '''''100''''' additional medical seats will be added to the existing seat pool in the state, reports the daily. Then the total intake capacity of eight medical colleges in the State will be 1,350. As mandated under the '''Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY)''', the District Headquarters Hospital (DHH) will be linked to the medical college for clinical activities. Accordingly, the DHH has been upgraded. This tertiary care hospital is set to meet the healthcare demands of the busiest tourist destination of Odisha, which earlier used to depend on [[SCB Medical College]], [[Cuttack]]. "Though, it will be the 8th Medical college set up by the Govt. of Odisha but is soon expected to climb up the ranks and be amongst the top few Medical colleges of Odisha, and later, of India" said Dr. Arup Mishra. As per the sources, ''specialist doctors'' have shown great interest in joining the new Hospital because of its prime location & 24*7 transport facilities available via rail & road, making it a very easily accessible place in Odisha.

'''Syamsundar College''', established in 1948, is the general degree college in [[Shyamsundar]], [[Purba Bardhaman district]]. It offers undergraduate courses in arts, commerce and sciences. It is affiliated to [[University of Burdwan|The University of Burdwan]].

== History ==

{{unsourced section|date=July 2018}}
Syamsundar College was founded by late Raibahadur Bisalaksha Bose, a social worker of Shyamsundar, on 12 August 1948. Former ministers of the Govt. of West Bengal [[Abdus Sattar (West Bengal politician)|Abdus Sattar]], [[Kalipada Mukherjee]] and [[Prafulla Chandra Sen]] and renowned freedom fighter such as [[Jadabendra Nath Panja]] helped a lot in establishing the college at Shyamsundar. Prafulla Chandra Sen, the former Chief Minister of West Bengal was selected as the first President to the Governing Body of the college. Mr. Shib Mohan Bose, the highly qualified son of Mr. Bose had been appointed as the first Principal of the college.

Initially, Arts, Science and Commerce streams were introduced in the college at Intermediate level. In 1952, on Bisalaksha Basu's special request, Sri Fakirdas Bandyopadhyay, ADPI of undivided Bengal joined as the Principal of the College. Sri Bandyopadhyay, a close associate of famous poet [[Kazi Nazrul Islam]], was a scholar of Philosophy with foreign degrees and an able administrator with imposing personality. He was instrumental in upgrading the College to the Degree level with the co-operation of Sib Mohan Bose. In 1956, the College was notified as a Govt. Sponsored Degree College in the Education Gazette. Contribution of Sri P. C. Sen was no less significant in this direction, as he successfully convinced the then Chief Minister Dr. [[Bidhan Chandra Roy]] about the urgency of a Degree College in this locality.

Co-education was introduced in the college in 1967. The College completed its 50 years in 1998 and on the occasion of Golden Jubilee, Sir Hasim Abdul Halim, Speaker of the West Bengal Assembly laid the foundation stone of the Golden Jubilee Building. This building has been constructed with the help of Sri Jiban Behari Ray’s M.P’s Area Development Fund, which was inaugurated by Sri. H.A. Halim, Speaker of West Bengal Assembly on 24 April 2002. On the same day, the new administrative complex and College office (partly financed by UGC) was inaugurated by him.

In 2005 the college had become UGC NAAC accredited and earned B+ status. On 8 August 2007 this institution celebrated Diamond Jubilee after completion of 60 years. Seminars, Conferences and cultural and education programmes held throughout the year.
Now from year 2017 started MA of history under Burdwan university.

This institution spread wisdom in the South [[Damodar River|Damodar]] locality in the past. This institution has rich tradition which is mingled with modernity. This College aims to surge ahead with the inhabitants of rural Bengal. One of the significant prides of the College is the very cordial relationship between the students teachers and the staff. Visionary sight of [[Bisalaksha Bose]] was to make this institution a university, but his dream remained still unfulfilled mainly due to communication hurdles.
