RIMS has got along History of changing Hands of Management, ultimately run by RIMS Society under the Government of India, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare www.rims.edu.in. The RIMS Admits 100 M.B.B.S. STUDENTS per session and the home State, Manipur gets only 35 seats.
In order to produce more doctors and improve health care in the state, the Government badly needed a state run medical college.
