The institution had been affiliated with the State Faculty and General Council of Homoeopathic Medicine, West Bengal, since its inception of DMS (Diploma in Medicine & Surgery, a diploma course in homoeopathy) in the year 1944. On the enactment of Homoeopathic Bill in 1963, this institution enjoys the affiliation from the Council of Homoeopathic Medicine, West Bengal and also been recognized under the Central Council of Homoeopathy (CCH), New Delhi, since its formation.

Revolutionary changes were started in 1973, under the dynamic leadership of late Dr. D.D. Banerjee, the Principal of the institution at that time. Since the inception of DHMS (Diploma in Homoeopathic Medicine & Surgery) course, introduced by CCH, this institution offered the course as the only diploma college in Calcutta from 1983. After the sad demise of Dr. D.D. Banerjee, under the leadership of the next Principal Dr. N.C. Pal, an all out effort was made to upgrade the institution from diploma course to degree course BHMS under the Calcutta University. The leadership of Dr. R.K. Dutta, ex-teacher-in-charge, member of the Board of Trustees, further helped the progress of the institution. The fruitful result was achieved in the year 1997, after an all-round effort rendered by all well-wishers of the institution. Since then, the institution is conducting the degree course in homoeopathy, i.e. BHMS, affiliated to the Calcutta university & The West Bengal University of Health Sciences and recognized by CCH and Government of West Bengal.
