2Is the PJSU FM degree recognized by the Indian Medical Council?
| Currently we are in the process of completing the documentation process for receiving the formal reorganization from the Indian Medical Council. Since this is first time we are taking Indian Medical (MBBS) graduates for the MD specialization program, there was no need to apply for the Indian Medical Council's approval in the past. Considering the history of Our University and its reputation around the world, this should not be difficult. We believe that the Indian Medical Council would approve our University upon completion of their degree. The evaluation process may take few months but it will have no bearing on the students who would be studying in the University now or would be enrolling for the coming batches. On the other hand, our graduates can take the simple Indian Medical board exam, as a foreign University degree holder for getting the official reorganization for their MD degree in India |

:History
The tradition of higher education in Kosice goes back to the year 1657, when the bishop Benedict Kishdy founded an Academy by the Memorandum of “Studium Universale” and presented it with 40 000 tallers (by way of a dot). The Academy or the University started up managed by the Jesus’ Community Jesuits. The University of Kosice Golden Bull issued on the 6th of August 1660 by the Roman emperor Leopold I. granted the University the same privileges as to all the other universities of the Habsburg Monarchy in Vienna, Prague, Koln, Graz, Trnava, Olomouc The structure of the “Academia Cassoviensis” was similar to that of other universities managed by Jesuits, determined by the Study Rules -“Ratio Studiorum”. Rector, Vice-rector and Chancellor stood at the head of the University, Faculties were represented by Deans. Alongside the Philosophical and the Law Faculties, the Theological Faculty was the strongest. Study at the Philosophical Faculty was dedicated first of all to Philosophy, History and Languages, but the lectures included also natural sciences, e.g. Physics, Mathematics, Geography and Botany.
The Kosice University was well known for its excellent professors Martin Palkovic, Samuel Timon, Stefan Kaprinai, Karol Wagner, Juraj Sklenar, Michal Lipsic, distinguished for dissemination of the new Physics in the Monarchy, and others. Regular and extraordinary professors were giving lectures to the students of all the Hungary nationalities. The lectures were given in Latin. The University had its own library, church, printing station and it was also connected to other institutions, a high school, seminary and convict or to vassal villages and other estate administration, for instance. The University was in possession of more villages in Spis County, at Abov and Zemplin See; it owned also one of the Gemer county towns, Jelsava. The university significantly influenced the advancement of science, educational attainment and spiritual culture in the 17th and 18th century.
In 1773 the University felt out of conduct of Jesuits and became a public institution – Academia Regia. Following a provision of a government - Ratio Educationis- it lost its sovereignty and remained just a subsidiary of the only Hungarian University in Buda while keeping the right to grant a degree. In 1850 Academia Regia transformed into the Law Academy, which existed till the year 1921.
Founding the Dr. Milan Rastislav Stefanik Technical University made Kosice a seat of university, again, though it was cancelled by the law in 1939.
After the Second World War, in successive steps, following universities were established: University of Agriculture and Horticulture, subsidiary of the Pedagogical Faculty of the Slovak University in 1947, in 1948 it was a subsidiary of the Medicine Faculty of Comenius University, University of Veterinary Medicine in 1949 and in 1952 Technical University.
By joining the subsidiary of the Medicine Faculty of Comenius University with the Philosophical Faculty accrued from the Philosophical Faculty of the Pedagogical College in Presov, Pavol Jozef Safarik University in Kosice was established, which fastened on to the tradition of the historical Jesuitical Kosice University.
In 1964 the Pedagogical Faculty with a seat in Presov was established and became a part of P. J. Safarik University, as well as the Faculty of Science in 1963 and the Faculty of Law in 1973. The number of faculties increased by the Orthodox Theologian Faculty and the Greek-catholic Theologian Faculty; on the 1st of January 1997 the P. J. Safarik University was divided into two independent Universities, P. J. Safarik University in Kosice and University of Presov in Presov. So, the number of the faculties was reduced to 3, which were the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Law. From the year 1998 the University has also a new Faculty of Public Administration.
The university also comprises of following centers: The Computer Center, The University Library, The Botanic Garden, The Department of Foreign Language, The Department of Physical Education, The University Printing and Publishing Center, The University Hall of Residence and several outside recreation and training centers.
