The upcoming institution will be the fifth GMC in Punjab, with three located in Amritsar, Patiala and Faridkot and Another is being set up at SAS Nagar Maholi. However, it is being said that the one to be established in Kapurthala is going to be the first-of-its-kind in the Doaba region with capacity for 100 students.

The Punjab government has already determined 11 acres of land for the GMC to be established. This would be around 1.5 km away from the local civil hospital.
