Bellary Medical College now renamed Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Sciences, located in Bellary, is run by the government of Karnataka. To overcome the shortcomings the Medical College was made autonomous Institution "Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Sciences, Bellary" in 1996.
The Medical Council of India recognized the undergraduate MBBS course with an annual intake of 100 students in 1977. But due to the shortage of staff and other infrastructure facilities threatened to de-recognise the UG MBBS course in 1997 and immediate measures were taken to fill up the vacancies of teaching posts and to construct the buildings and purchase the equipment required by MCI. And so MCI agreed to continue the recognition of UG courses. The postgraduate courses started with the permission of MCI in 1980 in different subjects and today 32 candidates for degree courses in 15 subjects, 23 candidates for diploma courses in 9 subjects are admitted every year in this institute.
