The college was established in 2005 by the Government of Tripura and Global Educational Net in a Public-Private Partnership, the first venture of its kind in India. But it received its first MCI permission for admission of students into M.B;B.S. course in 2006. However, during the month of April–May 2009, due to some reasons the GENET expressed their inability to run the institution any further. At that time 200 students were pursuing the M.B.B.S course from there. So the Government of Tripura decided to run the college through a society and registered a society in the name and style of " Society for Tripura Medical College" on 23 May 2009.
