[[UCMS]] was founded in 1971, due to the efforts of the [[Health Minister]] of New Delhi. It was proposed by the minister to provide medical education to every student who attained the eligibility criteria and wished to become a doctor. The criteria being stringent (minimum 60% aggregate), but it still caused a 100 or so students to be left out, even with the presence of two Medical Colleges in Delhi – [[Maulana Azad Medical College|MAMC]] and [[LHMC]]. That year classes began in the makeshift Department of [[Chemistry]], Delhi University, North Campus. This was to become the UCMS of tomorrow. It then started having its clinical postings (practicals) at [[Meerut Medical College]]. Shortly, it was shifted to [[Safdarjung Hospital]] in [[South Delhi]].{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}

In 1986, it shifted to its present location at [[Dilshad Garden]] and was associated with Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, a 1000 bedded institution, as its teaching hospital.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}

Thus GTBH actually became functional in 1986 though construction was over in 1979 and some departments began functioning before 1987.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}
